Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent has shocked fans and the internet by opening up about her battle with eye cancer. In an emotional interview, Lala revealed that she found a top specialist who claimed to be able to completely cure her. However, what shocked viewers was the "unimaginable" cost of treatment and the huge sacrifice she had to make: losing a part of her body during the treatment.
Lala Kent shared that finding out she had eye cancer was one of the scariest moments of her life. The disease was discovered during a routine checkup, and the results left her in disbelief. "I always thought my eyes were healthy, but when the doctor said the word 'cancer,' I was devastated," she recounted.
After months of searching, Lala finally found a specialist at a top medical center who claimed he could restore her vision and completely remove the cancer. However, the price was not cheap, both financially and emotionally.
According to Lala, the treatment she had to pay was in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. "I know health is priceless, but when I heard the cost, I was still shocked. The initial treatment alone cost $250,000, and that was just the beginning," she revealed.
However, Lala insisted that she had no regrets about spending all her money on treatment. "I was lucky to be able to pay, but I couldn't help but think about others who couldn't afford it. It was really unfair," she added.
Although doctors assured Lala that her vision would be fully restored, she faced a major trade-off: she would lose a part of her body during the treatment. Specifically, Lala revealed that in order to completely eliminate the cancer cells, she had to agree to have part of her tear duct in her left eye removed.
"I will never be able to cry with my left eye again," Lala shared in a choked voice. "It may sound trivial, but crying is a part of being human. Knowing that I will never cry 'normally' again is really hard to accept."
This moved the online community. Many fans sent messages of encouragement to Lala, praising her for her strength and courage. "You are a true warrior, Lala. Losing a part of your body is never easy, but you fought for your health, and we are proud of you," one fan wrote on Instagram.
Lala's story quickly became a hot topic on social media. While many expressed sympathy and admiration, others were outraged by the cost of treatment. "It's unbelievable that saving a life costs so much. The healthcare system needs to change," one Twitter user commented.
Some also criticized Lala for making the cost of treatment public. "Not everyone is as rich as Lala Kent. This action may make others feel helpless because they can't afford it," said another.
However, Lala insisted that she wanted to share her story to raise awareness about regular health check-ups. "Eye cancer is not a common disease, but it can happen to anyone. I hope my story will help people pay more attention to their health," she said.
Lala is currently recovering from surgery and treatment. She said she feels lucky to have overcome the disease and is grateful to the medical team that helped her. "I lost a small part of my body, but I got my life back. It was a worthy trade-off," Lala affirmed.
Lala Kent's story is not only a reminder of the importance of health but also an inspiration to many. With a strong spirit and support from her family, friends, and fans, Lala is ready to write the next chapter in her life - one filled with strength, optimism, and faith.
