Ahmad "Real" Givens, former star of VH1's "Real Chance of Love" and "I Love New York," has faced a major setback in his battle with cancer. According to TMZ, Real is once again back on chemotherapy after doctors discovered that his tumors had spread.
The site reports that Real's brother Chance said the cancer in Real's lungs and liver has gotten worse. Reportedly, doctors made him stop taking medical marijuana, which he was using for pain, because the tumors have grown.
The former TV personality recently underwent surgery to have a port implanted that will administer the chemo.
"Just finished up radiation for the cerebellum and headed home. My head is killing me so I need rest," he said in a video posted to his Instagram account. "Thank you for your prayers and love from everyone. Special thanks to my bro Kamal this morning."
Last year, Real announced that he was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer. In December, he underwent surgery to have tumors removed but doctors discovered that their diagnosis was wrong and Real was suffering from rectal cancer, TMZ reports.
Earlier in the year, the VH1 star was said to be doing a lot better and on his way to recovery.
"Things have been rough lately.Im on stronger chemo now so its kickin my butt a little bit. But I'm fighting thru it," Real tweeted to his followers in September.
The reality star has been very open with his cancer battle and often shares videos and tweets updating fans on his progress.
