Former RHOBH star Brandi Glanville underwent emergency surgery in February to remove a ruptured breast implant. She thought she had finally solved the cause of the mysterious illness that’s been plaguing her for several years. However, her medical issues returned after the surgery. In the latest update, the former reality star revealed a scary new tumor diagnosis. Keep reading for more details.
RHOBH Alum Spent Shocking Amount On Doctors
Brandi Glanville’s health struggles began in 2023 when she was filming Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Morocco. Bravo never aired the season after Caroline Manzo accused Brandi of sexual assault, which Brandi denies. The RHOBH alum initially claimed that her health issues were caused by something she ate on the trip.
However, she later became convinced that she had a parasite under the skin that she could see and feel moving on her face. She revealed to Golden Bachelor stars Kathy Swarts and Susan Noles that she had visited dozens of doctors but none of them could figure out what was going on. Brandi Glanville revealed that she spent $200,000 trying to find answers to her health struggles.
She thought she finally had answers when doctors discovered a ruptured breast implant. However, her symptoms returned after the surgery to remove the implant. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me, guys. I thought I was fixed and then it happened again. And now it’s sinking in again,” she said in June. Now, she shared another scary discovery.
Brandi Glanville Reveals Scary Tumor Diagnosis Amid Health Issues
Brandi Glanville is desperate to find out what’s wrong with her. She shared an update on her Unfiltered podcast. The RHOBH alum revealed that the doctors found a tumor in one of her lymph nodes. She told her podcast co-host, James Maas, that the tumor was benign, meaning it wasn’t cancerous.
“That could be why the fluid is going around my face. I can wear makeup for like 15 minutes, and [then] I have to take it off,” Brandi Glanville said. She shared exasperation at how long it took for a doctor to listen to her about the lump.
“Every doctor that I’ve showed, they’re like, ‘It’s just scar tissue.’ I’m like, ‘From what? I haven’t had a face lift yet,’” Brandi Glanville said on the podcast. “There’s a lot of dismissing that goes on in the medical field,” she added.
The Real Housewives alum didn’t share if the doctors want to remove the benign tumor or leave it. She said that the only thing that helps with the issue is staying out of the sun and parasite medication. Despite the doctors being unable to find anything, Brandi Glanville remains convinced that she has a parasite living under her skin. Stay tuned for updates on her ongoing health struggles.
