Brandi Glanville gets diagnosis which may finally explain recent health struggles

Brandi Glanville has received a new diagnosis

Brandi Glanville has been diagnosed with a benign tumour which may be the cause of her facial issues.

The 53-year-old star has struggled with mystery health woes over the last few years, and earlier this month she admitted she hadn't been able to figure out what's been causing problems with her face and neck.

Speaking on her own Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast, she said: “I found out I have a benign tumor in one of my lymph nodes in my face.

"That could be why the fluid is going around my face and why I’m having a hard time… I can wear makeup for, like, 15 minutes and then I have to take it off.”

Brandi has previously wondered if what she had thought was a facial parasite was due to her breast implants rupturing and spreading infection through her body, while doctors have claimed it's "just scar tissue".

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has pointed out she hasn't "had a facelift yet", but now she might have more answers.

She went to see a dermatologist specialising in cancer after finding a lump near her jaw.

She revealed: "He did a blood test and it came back on the blood test.

"And like I'm thinking I've had so many labs done… I’m talking tens of thousands of dollars in labs.

"Why would this lab just now show this? I can tell you that this lump has always been here."

Brandi is hoping she can get back to feeling her best after a long struggle.

She added: "It's been a long three years. I just want to put a ton of makeup on again, get my hair extensions. I want to have a glow-up.”

Earlier this month, Brandi admitted she had no idea "what's wrong" with her, after thinking the issue "was fixed".

She previously insisted she felt she had "lost everything" because of her health struggles.

Speaking earlier this year, she said on the I Do, Part 2 podcast: “I haven’t had sex in three years, the whole time I’ve been sick, because I lost my confidence.

“I feel like I lost everything at once. I lost my job. I lost my reputation. I lost my looks.”

Brandi noted that during her "dark times", she "isolated" herself from everyone other than her sons, Jake, 22, and 18-year-old Mason, who she has with ex-husband Eddie Cibrian.

She added: “I’m still working on my confidence. It’s just a lot of — it seems silly — but as women, when you look good, you feel good."
