Vicki Gunvalson 2015: 'RHOC' Star & Ex-Boyfriend Brooks Ayers On Stopping Chemotherapy [VIDEO]
Brooks Ayers and Vicki Gunvalson spoke of his cancer treatment in a new interview.
Did Brooks Ayers Just Confirm He Won't Be On 'RHOC' Next Season?
After months of speculation into Ayers' diagnosis, the former Real Housewives of Orange County couple, who parted ways last month following four years of dating, addressed his decision to share his health battle with fans, as well as his decision to stop chemotherapy treatments.
“My only goal in sharing my journey in a public way was to give others hope when chemotherapy wasn’t working,” Ayers told Real Mr. Housewife on Wednesday. “As in any illness, we must do research with our medical team, make calculated decisions, listen to our bodies, and go with what our mind/soul tells us to do regardless of the ‘noise’ from other people. Nothing more, nothing less. There are so many treatment options to consider and it is very much a personal decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly.”
During season 10, Ayers began alternative treatments in lieu of chemotherapy, which many of his co-stars questioned.
As for former girlfriend, Gunvalson, however, she understands there's more to cancer than chemotherapy.
Explained Gunvalson, “It’s irresponsible for anyone to say chemo is the only route. Whatever Brooks chooses to do for his treatment plan I support his decision.”
