Happy day! Chrisley Knows Best<\/em><\/a> stars Todd Chrisley<\/strong><\/a> and Julie Chrisley<\/strong> <\/a>recently shared an exciting update regarding Julie\u2019s health.
On the March 23 episode of their podcast, Chrisley Confessions<\/em><\/a>, Julie reported good news after an oncology appointment. Exactly 10 years after her double mastectomy, her doctor told her she could stop taking the cancer-treating drug, tamoxifen.
Julie, 49, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 due to too much estrogen in her body, Along with her double mastectomy, she underwent a radical hysterectomy, having her ovaries removed in 2013. She was later declared in remission.
Coming off the medication, Julie said she hopes to be free from its side effects, including weight gain, joint pain and specifically brain fog and memory loss. \u201cIt\u2019s been a direct result of having the hysterectomy and the medication,\u201d she said.
\u201cI remember season one of Chrisley Knows Best<\/em>, I literally spent the entire season searching for my phone, because I would lay it down, and I couldn\u2019t find it.\u201d Julie was even so concerned with her memory at times that she was tested for Alzheimer\u2019s. \u201cIt was so scary to me,\u201d she said.
Todd, 52, also commented on how the weight gain affected his wife. \u201cI remember one of the biggest things that you struggled with was, for the first time in your life, you were putting on weight.\u201d While on the topic, Julie responded, \u201cKeep in mind, this was before I started my journey with Nutrisystem<\/a> too, but I remember you saying to me, \u2018Listen. You\u2019re alive. You\u2019re cancer-free. You know, weight is something that we can deal with when we deal with it down the road.\u2019\u201d
Julie began using Nutrisystem<\/a> to get her health and weight back on track. \u201cI have been a partner with Nutrisystem for several years now,\u201d Julie exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> in January, \u201cand I am down officially 30 pounds.\u201d After seeing her results, Todd joined in and they took on the Nutrisystem Partner Plan<\/a> together.

\u201cI have been very vocal about talking about my journey,\u201d Julie said, \u201cand I will continue doing that because if it helps one person then, you know, I feel like all the stuff that I\u2019ve gone through has not been in vain.
