Just because Real Housewives of New York is in the off season, it doesn’t mean that the tough times have paused for Bethenny Frankel. The Skinnygirl founder had a a serious health issue to address after discovering that she has a cancerous skin growth on her face.
In an interview with People, Bethenny discussed her basal cell carcinoma diagnosis. She said, “I had a growth on my face that was enlarging. I guessed it to be a basal cell carcinoma and had it lanced and removed.”
Bethenny also said, “The doctor confirmed it is indeed basal cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer, and says while it is cancer, I am lucky to have it removed — so it won’t affect my overall health.” Thankfully Bethenny found the growth early enough that she can remove it and take care of the situation.
She revealed, “I am now scheduled to undergo Mohs surgery to remove the cancer, followed immediately by plastic surgery to remove any scarring.”
