Sister Wives Star Drops Bombshell: ‘Rare and Aggressive’ Cancer Diagnosis Rocks Community
ONE of the stars of Sister Wives has revealed a ‘rare and aggressive’ cancer diagnosis. The TLC reality star opened up on the ‘painful’ recovery process as fans sent their prayers.
Sister Wives follows the life of Kody Brown and his expanded polygamist family. This included his current wife Robyn, and his former wives Meri, Janelle, and Christine.
Meri, 54, divorced Kody in 2014 and has taken to social media with a huge update on her pal. She took to Instagram to post a picture with her friend Jenn Sullivan who has also appeared on the show.
The pair appeared to be beaming in a new selfie as they wore complimentary red hoodies with expletive slang words. Meri’s hoodie was emblazoned with the words, ‘Never gonna b**** …’, whilst her best friend’s hoodie read, ‘… The B****’ Jenn captioned the album: “B****craft: The art of p****** people off while smiling sweetly.”
This comes after Jenn revealed that her partner Shawn was diagnosed with ‘rare and aggressive cancer.’
She posted a poignant selfie onto her grid page alongside a detailed essay on his treatment and the effect it has had on her life. The media personality wrote: “This photo was taken on our 19th anniversary – just before Shawn began treatment for Sarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer.
“Since February, he’s undergone five weeks of radiation and two major surgeries, including the removal of a third tumor that had grown unnoticed just outside the radiation area. “Shawn’s recovery has been long & painful, but he’s slowly gaining strength & getting back to the shop when he can & we appreciate your patience with our adjusted hours.
“We’ve kept this close so our kids could finish the school year without added worry. “But we have told them, have helped them to feel confident that we are on a good path, & have decided to now share it with you too & say thank you.”
She added: “The texts, check-ins, prayers, & acts of kindness have carried us. To those who’ve supported our kids without them even knowing why – we will forever be grateful.” “July is Sarcoma Awareness Month, and while this road was unexpected, we’re staying hopeful, grateful, and committed to catching any potential recurrence early, & we pray the worst is behind us.”
Jenn finished off the post by writing: “Thank you for loving & supporting us through it. “We feel it every single day. Shawn & Jenn,” alongside a yellow heart emoji.
