Earlier in the year, it was reported that Ahmad Givens, best known as Real from I Love New York, had stage 4 colon cancer.
Givens under went surgery Wednesday night to remove large chunks of cancer from his colon and the operation was a success.
A rep for Ahmad “Real” Givens state when doctors began operating Wednesday night, they thought he had colon. Turns out it was stage 4 rectal cancer and they were able to remove it all.
Unfortunately, there was another problem. Ahmad also had 7 tumors in his liver. Doctors removed all but a small portion that was deep in the liver. Doctors are hopeful with radiation they can eliminate the remnants of his liver cancer.
We wish Ahmad well.
