Jenni Rivera To Undergo Surgery For Breast Tumor

By Michael Lopez

Amazingly, just one day after hearing the shocking news about Draco Rosa’s cancer battle, Jenni Rivera revealed that she has discovered a tumor in her breast! Thankfully it appears as though the lump is not malignant, but La Diva de la Banda will undergo surgery to have it removed.

The bombshell was dropped during Rivera’s popular reality series, I Love Jenni. On the show, the singer revealed that she discovered the tumor back in February, but chose not to tell her family until now. And, as you would expect with reality television, the reaction by those close to her was over-the-top shock.

Even though the tumor was not life-threatening, Jenni is now on a crusade to help spread awareness about breast cancer. She has recorded public service announcements for the Revlon Run/Walk For Women and is expected to participate in the Los Angeles event on May 7.

As shown on the series, it was Jenni’s quick responses that led to her getting checked out and nipping any cancer in the bud. Early detection is essential in the fight against this deadly disease and we applaud Rivera educating others on the topic.

Has anyone in your family been impacted by breast cancer? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.
