Reality TV star Bruce Jenner has thanked his fans for their support and well-wishes after he recently underwent a surgery to remove skin cancer on his nose.
The 63-year-old star, who got a chunk of cancerous tissue removed from his nose that left him with 30 stitches, said he has been struggling with the skin cancer for a long time, reported New York daily News.
"I was diagnosed with a form of Melanoma called basal cell carcinoma and have undergone Mohs surgery to remove it. I have been struggling with this for several years and appreciate all of the support and prayers while I continue to fight the battle against skin cancer," Jenner said.
"This has taught me to be extra vigilant when out in the sun and I encourage others to get regular checkups and always wear sunscreen," he added.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' had gone for a similar surgery before. In 2012, he had similar cancerous tissue removed from the side of his face and had been warned by his doctors to use better sun protection.
