Has anyone else been following Lala Kent’s “eye situation? The Vanderpump Rules alum and mother of two has been on social media documenting her experience with an abnormality on one of her eyeballs. In her most recent update, things took a not-so-great turn.
Initially, Lala saw a doctor who thought it could be something minor. When things didn’t improve, she got a second opinion from another doctor who did a biopsy.
In an Instagram video, Lala said she cried when she learned what they found.
Lala Kent recalls the “terrifying” pre-cancerous eye abnormality
The eye saga started a few days ago, when Lala showed her followers a weird spot on her eye. She eventually saw an eye doctor who prescribed some type of drops and told her that it was an “inflamed pinguecula.” Lala didn’t feel confident in that diagnosis.
“For some reason, that just didn’t feel right because the drops [the doctor] gave me weren’t working,” Lala explained on Instagram.
According to Page Six, Lala went to a second doctor, who thought it made more sense to do a biopsy on the abnormality. Thank goodness they did. In a follow-up video, Lala revealed that the second doctor discovered pre-cancerous cells.
“So I got a text with the doctor that I went and saw last night at 10:30 p.m. I’m so grateful,” Lala said.
“He said, ‘The specialist can see you tomorrow at 9 a.m.’ So I was there at 9 a.m., she looked at it, she said that it is pre-cancer, and she said, ‘I want to start you on chemotherapy drops.’”
Of course, Lala said this news was “terrifying” to hear. She cried about it, but she and her doctor have a plan. For next steps, she’ll use the chemo drops for three months. They’ll see if things improve from there. Fingers crossed that’s all it takes to knock this out.
“At that point in time, God willing, it kills all the cancerous cells,” Lala said. “If it doesn’t, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it and talk about surgery. So there’s the update.”
Vanderpump Rules is streaming on Peacock. The show streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
