Back in February, Simon confirmed to People that he was diagnosed with stage 3 throat cancer. He wanted to speak out about it in an effort to be an example to others. Also, Simon is remaining positive during this time.

“I think everything happens for a reason, I think your destiny is pretty much set for you, and you’re here to learn lessons,” he continued. “This has been a tough lesson for me. And I’m hoping it can be a lesson for others, too.”

When he spoke to People, he said he was undergoing a dual treatment of chemotherapy and radiation. Tamra and Simon divorced in 2011 after 13 years of marriage. Earlier this year, Tamra confirmed her exit from RHOC and said that Simon’s cancer diagnosis played a role in that decision.

“It made me reevaluate my life,” she said in a separate interview with People. “The reality of it is, after Eddie’s heart condition and now Simon with cancer, it’s just very hard for me to want to go on a show where people are screaming and yelling and arguing about things that don’t even matter. They’ve taught me that life is precious, and you don’t get that time back.”

Both Tamra and Simon agree that his battle has helped bring their family back together.

“It’s kind of like a new beginning for me and my family,” Tamra said. “It’s really brought everyone closer together.”
