Guerdy Abraira is opening up about her health.
The Real Housewives of Miami star shared on social media that she has been battling breast cancer after being diagnosed in March.
"I was in St. Barts having the time of my life when my doctor called me with results following a regular mammogram checkup," Guerdy wrote on Instagram May 10. "I have breast cancer."
The event planner noted that she took a break from social media in order to process the difficult news ahead of treatment. "For now I am preparing for my upcoming surgery and then will come my treatment plan," she continued. "This process is definitely intense and what I ask of you is empowerment not pity. I will 'guerdyfy' this cancer as I guerdyfy everything else in my life."
The 45-year-old also explained that she feels "lucky that this breast cancer was discovered at an early stage."
"It is still scary of course," Guerdy added, "but I have love and support from those around me and that alone is the fuel that I need."
The reality star concluded with an important message to fans about their own health. "For those who do not get health checks regularly, I urge you to," she urged. "Your life depends on it."
Guerdy isn't the only RHOM castmember whose life has been rocked by cancer in recent months. In January, co-star Julia Lemigova's wife, Martina Navratilova, revealed she was battling Stage 1 throat and breast cancer.
"This double whammy is serious but still fixable," the the tennis legend confirmed in a statement to the Women's Tennis Association. "I'm hoping for a favorable outcome. It's going to stink for a while, but I'll fight with all have I got."
In March, Martina shared an update, revealing that she's cancer-free following treatment.
