Earlier this summer is was reported that Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Amber Marchese was diagnosed with Lyme disease in the midst of her cancer battle. Now, Amber's husband Jim Marchese is giving an update on wife's health and reveals she is doing great now.
“She feels great,” he told Radar Online. “We were fortunate. We caught that early. The one nice thing about going for blood work every month is the Lyme test came up.”
“It was very early so it was 28 days of antibiotics and she kicked it out,” he explained. “So we’re very happy it was not a significant event thank God.”
He continued: “I call her my Spartan Queen all the time because I don’t know anyone else who could go through what she goes through and keeps a smile and keeps moving forward,” he added in nod to her cancer being in remission as well.
Marchese revealed which of his wife's former co-stars reached out the the former Bravo reality star when health scare was announced.
“Believe it or not Jackie [Laurita] even though we didn’t really film together much,” Jim said of who called Amber.”I think Melissa [Gorga] reached out just to say hello and see how she was doing.”
Amber and Jim may no longer be on RHONJ but the couple will be returning to reality television this October - appearing in the upcoming sixth season of We TV's Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars.
