How old is Vicki Gunvalson? 'RHOC' star opens up on cancer diagnosis and hysterectomy

Television personality Vicki Gunvalson has disclosed that she fought a tough battle with cancer and had to go through a hysterectomy. Gunvalson revealed her health condition while appearing on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live on November 17.

Gunvalson stated that she had cancer and her uterus had to be taken out. She unveiled it while talking about her former boyfriend, Brooks Ayers. Ayers had forged medical documents back in 2015 to make it look like he was a patient at the City of Hope cancer hospital.

While the former Real Housewives of Orange County star revealed she had cancer, host Jeff Lewis and another guest Tamra Judge did not ask for anything more as they moved on with the conversation. Gunvalson’s representative has not yet commented on anything.

Vicki Gunvalson had also mentioned earlier that she was going through a tough time and did not need anyone to bring her down. It has not been revealed the type of cancer Vicki had. However, the American Cancer Society says that hysterectomy is mostly performed to treat endometrial cancer.
