Amber Marchese Reveals Cancer Returned 'I Was Sick To My Stomach'

Years ago, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star underwent a full mastectomy, but earlier this year, her cancer returned. In a new interview, just one day after his wife's surgery, Jim Marchese spoke out, revealing a tumor in her breast has been removed.

"The surgery was close to four hours. They removed the tumor and more than 20 millimeters surrounding it," Jim told E! News on Tuesday. "She was in a good deal of pain last night, but she's been resting and she's coming home today. After this, she'll have five weeks of radiation and then another surgery."

"She's really appreciative of everyone's thoughts and prayers," Jim added. "She'll be back on her feet in a few days. She's going to keep going and keep fighting."

After announcing her cancer had returned weeks ago, Marchese told E! News, "I'm going to handle this with grace, positivity and faith. I don't know why this is happening to me, but it is. So I have to turn it into an opportunity to raise awareness. Some good has to come from this."

Now that the tumor has been removed, Marchese is expected to begin radiation.

No word yet on her potential return to The Real Housewives of New Jersey for season seven.
