Khloe Kardashian insists 'worst is over' in health update after terrifying cancer scare

Khloe Kardashian says she's 'doing ok' after having surgery following a cancer scare.

The reality TV star, 38, required "immediate" treatment after doctors discovered a rare tumour on her face – a lump Khloe first thought was a 'minor zit'.

Taking to her Instagram earlier this week, she revealed why she had been wearing a bandage on her face recently – as part of her surgery recovery.

But during the recent episode of The Kardashians, viewers watching live immediately began to quiz Khloe on her current condition.

Replying to one well-wisher, Khloe Tweeted: "Baby!!!!! I’m good!! I swear!!

"Super grateful that I’m healthy and that I have a lifetime supply of bandaids. Seriously im ok. The worst is over and now its time to be haaaaapppppy."

In her previous posts on Instagram, announcing her recent surgery, Khloe told how doctors urged her to undergo an "immediate operation".

The Good American co-founder has said surgeons were able to "get everything" and her margins now appear "clear".

She shared her story over a series of posts and admitted she first thought the blemish was simply a spot. However, the mark remained on her face for seven months, leading her to get it checked out.

Khloe said: "'After noticing a small bump on my face and assuming it was something as minor as a zit, I decided to get it biopsied 7 months after realizing it was not budging.

She replied to one concerned follower asking for a health update (@khloekardashian/Twitter)

"Dermatologist Dr Tess Mauricio examined it, and a second biopsy was ran by Dr. Daniel Behroozan because what they were both seeing was incredibly rare for someone my age. "

And she told her fans to get used to seeing the bandages for the foreseeable future as she continues the healing process.

"You'll probably see a scar (and an indention in my cheek from the tumor being removed) but until then I hope you enjoy how fabulous I'm making these face bandages look (heart emojis)," Khloe continued.

She then shared a number of snaps of her bandaged face and gushed at how "fabulous" she looked before revealing the main reason she was sharing the news was to urge people to get checked often.

Khloe opened up on a previous health scare, saying: "At 19 years old, I had melanoma on my back, and I had a surgery to remove that as well, so I am precomposed to melanomas."
