Heather Dubrow’s eye-opening results

Initially, it was Heather’s idea for the group to do mammograms together. Cameras followed the ladies on RHOC Season 18, Episode 14, and Heather eventually learned that she was at high risk for breast cancer. In an interview with Bravo’s The Daily Dish, she opened up about the scary moment and what it means to her.

“My risk factor went up dramatically, which was terrifying,” Heather recalls. “Literally, the radiologist said to me, ‘Listen, if we find him, we’ll catch him early.’ And it’s like you don’t want to hear that. You don’t want to hear something like that.”

“I go there every year, Terry,” she continued [Dubrow]On staff at that hospital, and so it usually is [the radiologist] She comes out and says, “Hey, it’s great!” See you next year. This was a turn on and scary considering two family members had just had it.

These days, Heather maintains that she is in good health, but remains vigilant about the results. Armed with information from her mammogram, she’s looking forward to making healthy decisions to move her body forward.

“As I sit right now, I’m a healthy person,” Heather confirmed. “But it’s worrying to know what kind of tests I have to do to make sure I stay that way.”
