Does Kris Jenner have cancer?

In addition to having surgery to remove her ovaries, Kris also had to undergo a hysterectomy or the removal of her uterus after doctors found a cyst and a tumour on her ovaries, which she didn't reveal were cancerous or not.

She told her friends on an episode of The Kardashians: “I’m gonna have a hysterectomy. It started out as just getting some ovaries removed, and then today I got a phone call.”

Kris explained that her doctor recommended removing her ovaries and uterus was “the best thing” she could do. “Listen, I really think the best thing for you is to remove the whole thing. Do the complete hysterectomy. And not give anything a chance to grow,” she recalled the doctor telling her.

“Here’s the thing. I did it, they found something, we’re here to fix it, and I’m going to do something and remove something that gave me six of the best parts of my whole life."

Kris will likely be revealing all the details of her health scare on the upcoming episodes of their show which is aired on Disney+ and Hulu.

The Kardashians are one of the most wealthy families in the world so we can be assured that whatever Kris is going through/went through she's got access to the best doctors in the game.

Kris has since been seen on numerous occasions looking very well - so if the cyst/tumour was cancer it's likely been removed or she's receiving expert treatment.

We'll update this page as and when she shares more details.
