Serena Williams’ husband shares health update amid worrying cancer scare

Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian was feeling extra thankful on Thanksgiving as he shared an update on his health following a cancer scare.

The Reddit co-founder, 41, revealed that he underwent preventative surgery to remove “suspicious nodules” in his thyroid that were likely to “turn cancerous”.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Alexis shared a post-surgery photo of himself in a hospital bed alongside two sweet images of his daughters Olympia, seven, and Adira, 15 months.

“After tracking some suspicious nodules on my thyroid for the last 4 years, I recently got half of it surgically removed,” he began.

“The nodules were getting bigger & the latest biopsy revealed they’d very likely turn cancerous.”

Revealing that he has a history of cancer in his family, Alexis continued: “My mom had breast cancer around this age (41) and then ultimately died from brain cancer a decade or so later. I hate cancer.”

Taking matters into his own hands, Alexis had the surgery, which he revealed went smoothly.

“I wasn’t gonna take any chances; the surgery was smooth and I’m extra grateful this Thanksgiving because I got the call this morning that my now-removed-half-of-thyroid was indeed full of some gnarly nodules that were very likely to become cancerous.”
