What Happened to Kris Jenner?

During episode 7 of season 5, Kris tearfully told her children that her doctor found a tumor.

“I wanted to tell you guys something. I went to the doctor and had my scan,” she said before tearing up. “They found, and this just makes me really emotional but, they found a cyst and a little tumor on my ovary.”

While speaking with her daughters Kim, Khloé and Kendall during the episode, Kris explained that she needed to have her ovaries “taken out.”

“Dr A said I’ve gotta have my ovaries taken out, and I’m emotional about it because they came in handy with you guys,” Kris said. “That’s where all my kids were conceived and that’s where they were grown, in my tummy. So, this is a very sacred place to me.”

After Khloé called Kourtney to share the news, the Lemme founder reflected on the emotional revelation.

“I totally understand how my mom is feeling because I would feel the same way,” Kourtney explained. “It’s your womanly power and it doesn’t mean that it’s taking away who she is or what she’s experienced, but I would feel this sentimental feeling of what it’s created.”

Kris didn’t clarify whether or not the tumor discovery meant a cancer diagnosis. But the momager insisted that she’s “gonna be fine” and added, “Listen, if I can get through the hip replacement, I can get through this. I’m not nervous to be put to sleep. I’m not nervous with Dr. A, she’s the best doctor in the world. But then you go to do it and … it’s so real.”

“People often ask me what is the best job I’ve ever had, and I’ve always said: Mom,” the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum said. “The biggest blessing in my life was being able to give birth to six beautiful kids.”
