Reflecting on her surgery, Lisa said, I know I’m really slow in updating you, but I did have my surgery. All went well. I’m healing greatly.” What’s even better is that Lisa revealed her doctors think they have taken all the cancer out of her body. Still, she will have to go through radiation therapy for the next 30 days.

The next step for Lisa seems to be an appointment with her Oncologist, as she promised further updates on her condition. “I’m going to see my Oncologist next week and I’ll let you know what they say about treatment. But I am stage two, which is good news,” Mama Garcia revealed. Her recovery aside, Lisa’s diagnosis has not been easy for Ryan Garcia, which was evident from his reaction.

However, some fans questioned the sincerity of the video, accusing Garcia of seeking attention. One fan commented, “I’m sending double prayers, your mom has cancer and you recording your reaction? Drama lord.” Infuriated by these remarks, Garcia responded with a furious message, “I hate all of you, whatever you f**king come up with against me, concerning my MOTHER, I hate you and there will be a place in hell for you.”

That said, Lisa Garcia now appears to be in good spirits as she shared updates about her health on social media. Hopefully, her condition will get even better and she will be able to live worry-free. What did you think about Lisa’s recovery?
