Lala Kent Has Pre-Cancerous Spot on Her Eye, Needs Chemotherapy Drops

Lala Kent is being treated for a health scare.

Kent, 34, took to her Instagram Story on Wednesday, May 14, to address the scary growth on her right eye. 

“Alright, you guys, I have an update on the eye,” the Vanderpump Rules alum shared in a video message while holding her infant daughter Sosa. “So I got a text with the doctor that I went and saw last night at 10:30 p.m. I’m so grateful. He said, ‘The specialist can see you tomorrow at 9 a.m.’ So I was there at 9 a.m., she looked at it, she said that it is pre-cancer and she said, ‘I want to start you on chemotherapy drops.’”

Kent added: “Now I know that sounds terrifying. I cried obviously because … when you hear that word [cancer]. She said, ‘I want you to do the chemo drops for three months. We’re gonna do a week of them and go off for three weeks, and we’re gonna do that for three months.’ At that point in time, God willing, it kills all the cancerous cells. If it doesn’t, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it and talk about surgery. So there’s the update.”

Earlier this week, Kent first revealed her eye condition via her Instagram Stories, zooming in on her eye, which has a small but noticeable pink protrusion near her pupil.

“I know I’ve showed you guys like a million times, but I’ve been obsessing over it,” she said in a tearful Tuesday, May 13 message. “It started out I want to say maybe a month and a half, two months ago, where it was like the slightest bit of discoloration. I was like, ‘This is so weird, like what is that?’ Like, a week and a half ago” it “started to look like a blister to me.” 

She saw a doctor that day and a biopsy was ordered. On Tuesday night, Kent posted another Instagram Story, this time from her bed where she shared her anxiety.

“I’ll have friends come to me and they’re going through a health situation and I’m like, ‘It’s gonna be fine. You’ll be good. Like, we’re gonna figure it out. We’ll cross bridges when we get to them.’ Then when you’re placed in this situation, all you can do is just sit here and stress and think about every possible horrendous situation. And all of the advice that you give to people completely goes out the window.”

Kent is the mother of two daughters: Sosa, 8 months, whom she welcomed via a sperm donor, and Ocean, 4, whom she shares with ex-fiancé Randall Emmett.

“We have been battling for many years and we finally got all of our ducks in a row and put the custody battle to bed. I’m home base for my child and we have structure,” Kent said of coparenting with Emmett, 45, during the Monday, May 12, appearance on “The Morning After” podcast. “There’s bedtime and routine, and he just flies by the seat of his pants.”

Kent admitted at the time that she “tries to be chill” with Emmett, but he recently had Ocean on a late-night flight when she had school the next day. 

“I’m like, ‘Can we just get it together for five minutes?’” Kent said. “We’re all good. We’re still all good but I’m like, ‘You got me revved up.’”
