Kris Jenner has candidly opened up about her health scare after previously revealing she had a tumour, breaking down in tears as she shared an update with her family.
Kris, 68, spoke out about her news in the teaser clip for the new series of The Kardashians, announcing to her children that doctors had found a tumour.
While surrounded by her kids and accompanied by her boyfriend Corey Gamble at dinner, she revealed: “I had my scan.
“They found a cyst and like, a little tumour.”

As she dropped the bombshell, Corey, 43, buried his face in his hands while Khloe looked on with a shocked expression.
However, viewers have had to wait until this week’s episode to find out more, watching as the family wrapped a ski trip in Aspen, Colorado, by coming together for their ‘peak and pit’ tradition – a game that sees each member going through the high and low point of the trip.
No one seemed prepared for the ‘pit’ that Kris would be sharing, as she bravely began: “My peak was just being here with all of you guys, and the pit is that the rest of the family is not here.”

Her kids Kylie and Rob weren’t at the gathering, while Kourtney was also absent as she recovered from the birth of son Rocky.
Naturally, there was more to Kris’ low point than she initially shared – as was evident from her grave tone.
She continued: “I wanted to tell you guys something because I hadn’t told you yet, but… you know I went to the doctor and I had my scan… they found… and this just makes me really emotional, but… they found a cyst and like a little tumor on my ovary.”

Holding back tears, Kris continued: “And so I went to the doctor and Doctor A said I’ve got to have my ovaries taken out.
“And I’m just really emotional about it because you know they came in handy with you guys.”
Kris added: “I’m emotional about it because that’s where all my kids were conceived and that’s where they were grown in my tummy, and so that’s a very sacred place to me.”
Reassuring her kids, she joked that, if she can ‘get through the hip replacement’, she ‘can get through this’.

“I’m not nervous to be put to sleep, I’m not nervous with Dr. A,” Kris added.
“She’s the best doctor in the world, but then you go to do it and it’s so real.”
In a confessional, Kim said the surgery her mum would be having felt like a ‘really big deal’.

“I feel really sad for her, you know?” she said to the camera.
“I couldn’t even imagine being in that situation and how like you would feel really scared to be going through that.”
Kris was also able to tell her eldest daughter Kourtney after she called from home, explaining: “It’s just, you know, the emotional part for me is just having that gone.”
Kourtney admitted she would ‘feel the same way’, later telling viewers: “I totally understand how my mom is feeling because I would feel the same way.
"It’s like your womanly power, and it doesn’t mean that it’s like taking away, you know, who she is or what she’s experienced, but I would feel this sentimental feeling of what it’s created.”
