On Sunday, the 30-year-old shared the health news on social media and told her followers that she’s doing “fine.”

“Recently I was diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma. A type of Cancer in the Smaller intestine,” Kornbread wrote onInstagram. “I’m 100% fine and everything is in the early stages so Ill be back to my normal self in no time. Absolutely curable!”

Adenocarcinoma is a type of cancerous tumor that can occur in several parts of the body. It’s the most common type of small intestine cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute. It develops in cells located in the glands that line the small intestine and can be found in the body with diagnostic tests from a healthcare provider, including a blood test, CT scan, MRI and biopsy.
