RHOBH alum Anne Marie Wiley diagnosed with gallbladder cancer
On September 22, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Anne Marie Wiley She posted an update on her health. Last month, her medical team discovered a tumor in her gallbladder.
“His gallbladder is going to be removed very soon,” said the anesthesia nurse. “The surgeons were very concerned about tumors in his liver, so we had an MRI done last week, and the MRI showed no visible tumors or anything else. So that was amazing news.”
This is actually very good news. We hope that the tumor in her gallbladder will be completely removed, and that Anne-Marie will be able to resume her busy life.
Anne-Marie Wiley optimistic about ‘positive outcome’
After the gallbladder is removed, it will be sent to pathology for analysis and classification as “cancerous, malignant, or benign (non-cancerous)”.
“I’m very optimistic, the surgeons are very optimistic, so I’ll keep you guys updated,” she added.
She urged her fans to “prioritize their mental health and reduce stress” by “doing everything you can to manage stress.” She added: “Stress can do horrible things to our bodies!”
“Focus on what nourishes your soul,” the mother of four continued. “Exercise, meditate, take a break from social media when needed, and remove toxic situations and people from your life. Your health is your most precious asset, so protect it fiercely.”
After thanking her fans for their “love and support,” she expressed her hope that “sharing my experience encourages one person to listen to their body and stand up for themselves, and that brings me so much joy.”
Encouraging fans to “trust their instincts” [and] “Listen to their bodies”
Last month, Anne Marie, the wife of former NFL star Marcellus Wiley, shared the news about her tumor. In the months leading up to her diagnosis, she experienced “tremendous stress and anxiety,” which led to weight loss and severe upper abdominal pain. Instead of seeing her doctor, a trained nurse ignored her symptoms until the pain became “unbearable.”
“I believe in the power of openness and transparency, especially when it comes to our health,” she wrote from her doctor’s office. “If sharing this can inspire at least one person to trust their instincts, listen to their body, and get checked out, then it’s worth it.”
“Always listen to your body,” Anne-Marie continued. “Don’t wait if you feel something strange or something doesn’t feel right. Your health is everything.”
All episodes of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are available on Peacock.
