Madison LeCroy is getting candid about husband Brett Randle‘s recent health struggles.
The Southern Charm star emotionally shared with fans Brett’s battle with thyroid cancer during the Bravo series’ Dec. 12 episode.
“Unfortunately, Brett was diagnosed with thyroid cancer toward the end of last year around our one-year wedding anniversary,” the 34-year-old said in a confessional. “I thought, ‘Like, how? I’m finally happy.’ It’s just scary.”
Despite Brett insisting he feels “pretty good” after surgery, he revealed there’s still more care needed post-op as he continued to struggle swallowing.
“I have to go see a specialist for it,” he updated his wife. “It’s like two stages. I gotta go see an ENT for it and then probably have to do some type of therapy or something.”
Brett added that swallowing feels “like a marble that’s stuck there.”
“It’s alright,” the firefighter added with a smile, “I’m getting used to it.”
A sympathetic Madison replied, “We’ll get you fixed.”
Though Brett remains positive, Madison has been reeling from the experience.
“I’m thankful that Brett was able to go in and they removed a three centimeter nodule,” she noted in a confessional. “So, the cancer is gone, but now he’s having complications. I feel like we can’t catch a f–king break.”

“I told Hudson that Brett was sick, but I didn’t go into detail about what cancer can do to someone,” Madison explained in a confessional. “And I try not to let Hudson see me emotional because I have to be strong for my family.”
And though Brett’s health is on the upswing, Madison still has her bad days.
“Some days I just want to, like, scream,” she admitted. “It can be anything that triggers me, whether that be someone saying, ‘When are you having a child?’ I mean, we were just kind of starting to plan. But that’s on pause for now.”
See Madison and Brett’s journey continue when Southern Charm airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
