"Real Housewives of Orange County" star Tamra Judge has skin cancer, but she doesn't want sympathy.
The reality star and fitness guru posted an Instagram photo Sunday showing a small mole on the side of her butt, along with an emotional message to her followers.
"I work out hard for this Booty. I was planning on competing again in November at 50 years old, but I'm not sure that's happening now," she wrote. "It looks like God has a different plan for me. Im showing you this picture because this is what melanoma looks like. I don't want sympathy, I want you to save YOUR ass and get your skin checked. This was just a small black flat freckle.... I had no idea!"
