Kardashian noted that she’s “healing,” adding, “You’ll continue to see my bandages and when I’m allowed, you’ll probably see a scar (and an indention in my cheek from the tumor being removed.”
A source told TMZ that the first biopsy showed signs of melanoma, which was why a second biopsy was performed.
Khloé stressed the importance of getting checked, writing on Instagram, “I am ONLY sharing this story with you so I can remind everyone to get checked, and frequently.”
She added, “At 19 years old, I had melanoma on my back and I had a surgery to remove that as well, so I am pre-composed to melanomas. Even those who are not, we should be checking all the time… Please take this seriously and do regular self-exams as well as your annual checkups.”
Khloé made sure to show some love to her doctors, saying, “Garth I am so beyond grateful for you!!! I know how deeply you didn’t want to cut into my face, but you did it to protect me. I trust you with everything and I am so grateful we caught this early. I was lucky and all I have is a scar to tell a story with.”
