Gangster John Gotti’s daughter Victoria has clarified reports she
secretly battled breast cancer, insisting she only had a “scare”.
Reports recently emerged that the blonde socialite hid the condition while
filming the latest season of her reality show Growing Up Gotti.
But she now reveals that she underwent treatment to fight intraductular
carcinoma in situ, which could have developed into cancer if left untreated.
During an appearance on chat show The Big Idea yesterday, Gotti
explained to host Donny Deutsch, “I had what can be best termed as a scare… I
basically went for my mammogram, like everybody should, and… I got that call
back that every woman dreads; that there was a change and there was a problem.
“What was explained to me at the time was that this condition that I was
diagnosed as having, if left untreated could at any time – three months, three
years – develop into breast cancer…
“Normally they’d send you home and say, ‘Watch it, keep an eye on it. Come
back twice a year for your mammograms instead of once.’ I chose to be
aggressive. I had surgery. And I feel great. I am 1,000 percent well.”
Gotti, who learned of her condition last November, only shared details of
her health scare with her family on Friday, after a reporter informed
her that her secret battle had been found out.
