In a podcast with Deddy Corbuzier, Ari Lasso announced that he is suffering from a rare form of cancer. He was diagnosed with Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a cancer that occurs in 2 out of 4000 lymphoma cases.
Usually, lymphoma cancer attacks the lymph glands in the neck and under the armpit. However, Ari's cancer is attached to the spleen and is now in stage 2.
The cancer was detected after Ari experienced severe stomach pain. He then underwent a CT scan and subsequent surgery. It was found that his cancer was larger than his spleen and aggressive in nature, but it can be cured.
