REAL Housewives of Potomac star Mia Thornton says she might have cancer.
In a revealing and emotional Instagram post, the 37-year-old shared the possible diagnosis, without revealing what type of cancer she could be facing.
She started the note with words from her doctor: “Mia I’m so sorry but your test results came back and I need you to go to Johns Hopkins Cancer Center today for further evaluation,” he told her.
She continued: “You can only imagine the overwhelming amount of emotion G (husband Gordon Thornton) and I endured trying to figure out why. However, even with such terrible news, I felt an extreme amount of peace and energy instilled that allowed me to remain strong.”
Mia says she has been aggressive since receiving the devastating news.
“I’ve been in and out of visits to specialists every day and the storm is not over but this experience is changing me.
“I am working with a phenomenal team of physicians and I appreciate the outpouring of support.
“I have not been diagnosed as yet so please keep me in prayer.”
“I know God has a plan and I know we are often challenged to remain humbled that tomorrow is not promised and that our days on this earth are numbered.
“A message from my heart. A gentle reminder to Live, Love & Forgive as if today was your last.”
SHOW OF SUPPORT
Almost immediately, Mia’s Potomac friends and co-stars offered their love and support.
“Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers,” Robin Dixon commented. “Stay strong mama.”
“You are in my heart & my prayers. Sending lots of love & healing energy to you beautiful,” Cynthia Bailey shared, while Tamra Judge added, “Prayers beautiful.”
Mia is new to the Bravo franchise, but she became an instant fan favorite when she bravely and bluntly admitted to going under the knife for a tummy tuck, boob job, fillers, and more.
MIA’S INSTANT IMPACT
On the season premiere of RHOP, Wendy Osefo revealed she had had a boob job and other “tweaks.”
She then asked Mia what work she’s had done “because it seems like you’ve had a lot of stuff done.”
Mia replied: “Oh, everything! And I own it.”
Mia admitted: “So I get my botox every four weeks. I get fillers. I have my lips. I’ve had four boobs [jobs]. I’ve had a tummy tuck.
“I’ve had Abdominoplasty. I’ve had my a** done. I think I could continue to go on. I’ve even had my cl*t worked on.”
FAN FAVORITE
Fans commented on the episode tweeting: “I appreciated the fact that Mia is an open book. She won’t let these girls clock her #RHOP.”
Others weighed in: “@mrsmiathornton owning all her plastic surgery and all the ladies are so confused. #RHOP.”
Another cheered: “I love Mia. List it out, so that they won’t have anything to use against you #RHOP.”
In the preview for the new season of RHOP, fans got to meet the new housewife, Mia.
