At Ali Fedotowsky-Manno's husband Kevin Manno, cancer has been established.
On Sunday, the Bachelorette-Aluin, 40, and her husband, 41, went to Instagram to share a joint post in which they explained that Kevin has papillary thyroid cancer. Doctors found two 'malignant places' on his right side and he will undergo surgery to be removed.
The pair also emphasized that the disease was 'very treatable' and retained a positive attitude, in which they promised to have 'no stress' about the diagnosis.
'We always try to be open and honest. We are open books with our lives, “said Kevin. “We just want to give you a short update about something that happens here in the Manno family, but I'm not worried about it.”
He continued: 'I know that Ali recently told me that I had to undergo a scan – a biopsy and then a CT scan. And it came back that I have thyroid cancer, “he confirmed. “But I don't panic.”
The couple – which married and two young children in 2017 – also used the caption to explain further that the two 'malignant places on his right' and the cancer 'are in one lymph node, but we will not know for sure. Until his operation. '

The couple explained that Kevin will be operated on Monday 10 February, but it will be up to the surgeon whether he will have half of his thyroid or entire thyroid been operated.
“The prognosis is very good,” said the TV presenter. “It looks good. It will be something I can go into, February 10 is the operation, and we will switch it off and it will be over. '
And the duo – that a daughter Molly Sullivan, eight, and a son Riley Doran, also shares – also confirmed that they had already consulted another oncologist for a second opinion about future diagnosis and treatment options.
Fortunately, the doctor maintained that Papillary thyroid cancer was one of the less aggressive forms of cancer.
“The first thing he said to us was:” If you have to get cancer, this is the cancer you want, “Ali recalls.
“It has changed my view of daily life and really, you never know when you wake up tomorrow and things can change,” she added.
The two then encouraged their combined 973.2,000 followers to share their personal experiences with thyroid cancer and how they dealt with the stressful condition.
“We are specifically curious about stories related to the question of whether you or someone you know are the entire thyroid gland or half of it and the cancer is only on one side,” the couple wrote.

A follower wrote: 'I literally had my left thyroid gland removed on January 21. Unfortunately, mine is not the easy cancer and if I had not argued for myself and found my surgeon, things would be so much worse.
'Kevin will get through much easier than me. I managed my pain without narcotic drugs and stopped using Tylenol & Aleve two days ago. You will do it great! '
Another said: 'I have just recovered from this cancer. I had half removed in the hope of retaining the other half, but the cells tested positively after the first operation.
'Even worse to have to undergo two operations! At first I would just go for full removal. I wish the best ❤️. ”
