Kate Middleton Announces Her Cancer is in Remission After Visiting Hospital Patients
Kwame Appiah is warning others not to be blind to their health needs.
The Love Is Blind star got candid about a frightening medical scare he recently endured after feeling “a little bit sick” in November 2024, admitting that he came to regret not taking the matter seriously from the start.
“By the time I actually got to the doctors in December, I was having fevers for about three weeks,” Kwame, 34, revealed in a video posted on his Instagram page Jan. 16. “I had lost 20 pounds, so based on those symptoms, the doctor determined it could be an array of things—and one of those things was cancer.”
Fortunately, the reality star—who married Chelsea Griffin in the season four finale of the Netflix series—didn’t have cancer after all, but he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a chronic disease that leads to inflammation and ulcers in the colorectal region. After experiencing the illness “at its absolute worst” at the time, Kwame shared the lessons he took away from the ordeal.
