Kim Kardashian went through a procedure after doctors found irregularities in her esophagus. The news felt especially heavy because of her father’s history.
Robert Kardashian died from esophageal cancer in September 2003. He was 59. The illness moved fast.
On The Kardashians, Kim described feeling off and dealing with bad throat pain. Her doctor said imaging pointed to esophagitis.
Medication was the first step. Then came a closer look that led to the procedure to remove the irregularities.
Kim told the cameras she had not shared the diagnosis with many people. It reminded her too much of losing her dad.
She said she hoped the medicine alone would clear it up but did not know what the evaluation would show.
The show has aired footage of her preparing for the procedure with her mother Kris Jenner nearby. Full medical results have not been made public.
The family has long supported work on esophageal health in Robert’s name. Kim’s condition remains separate from the cancer that took her father.
