Earlier this month, "Little Couple" star Jen Arnold announced that she was cancer-free and in remission. While Arnold can finally begin her road to recovery, she revealed to Closer Weekly that she still suffers the effects from her chemotherapy treatments.
"I'm still dealing with fatigue from chemo brain, and I try to get back into things like I was before cancer," she said. "It's hitting me that it's going to take a bit longer than I wanted it to."
Her doctor, Conception R. Diaz-Arrastia, agreed that the reality TV star may be feeling a little off now but is confident Arnold will "be feeling more like herself soon." Upon learning she was finally cancer-free, Arnold said the hospital held a little celebration for her but confessed she "still wasn't feeling too good."
"We had a celebration at the hospital, which was a lot of fun," she said, adding that part of her celebration included having cupcakes with her family.
Now, that Arnold is doing better she told ABC News that she wants to focus on her family and is "ready for life to be boring, good or bad."
"I don't want any of this excitement," she said.
The 39-year-old broke the news in December that she was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of uterine cancer. She said the cancer stemmed from a non-viable pregnancy in August when she discovered she was pregnant. Sadly, when she went in for an ultrasound doctors told her the baby didn't have a heartbeat.
She told People magazine that doctors removed the embryo but the remaining cells sparked the Stage 3 cancer. Almost immediately after her diagnosis, she started a chemotherapy treatment.
Jen Arnold's cancer battle and recovery will play out on TV when Season 6 of "The Little Couple" returns Mar. 4 on TLC.
