Jill Zarin’s husband Bobby’s fight with thyroid cancer still isn’t over. The former Real Housewives of New York City star is currently with her husband at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC, where is he recovering from yet another procedure. Bobby was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2009. He soon had his thyroid removed and underwent radioactive iodine treatment, but in 2013, the cancer spread to his lungs, and then last fall, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Although Jill is supposed to be preparing for her 5th Annual Luxury Luncheon this weekend, which raises money to help fight the disease, she’s instead sticking by her husband’s side, “hoping for a miracle.”

Despite Bobby’s procedure, Jill said she now wants the luncheon to go on more than ever. “I want everybody to show up on Saturday happy to celebrate Bobby because he is still with us and he is fighting,” she shared.
