It Was Tough On The Family
The cancer was already in an advanced stage, so they had to start treatment right away. He took on a number of treatments and operations in the hopes of killing the cancer cells. Unfortunately, they resulted in strong side effects and always made Tarek feel nauseous. On top of that, he started to get severe migraines on a nearly daily basis. Despite this, he did not give up and remained determined to live through this. He knew that being pessimistic was not going to do him any favors, so he never stopped even though he had to slow down. When talked to Today, he said that it “gets scary, and you start getting depressed” when you lose hope. We are so glad that he pushed through!

By that point, pretty much everyone was aware that the Flip or Flop star was diagnosed with cancer. Despite this, neither Tarek nor Christina thought that it was necessary to inform the public of the full diagnosis. It was difficult for them to acknowledge it, and they did not feel prepared to talk about it with the entire world. However, this started to take an emotional toll on them. The couple began to feel anxious, stressed, and tired. Tarek started to go on The Doctors and admitted that he was feeling a lot of stress from his condition as well as the treatment. The fact that they also had a young child to look after made him and Christina grow distant. For some time, it felt like it was a losing battle, but things changed after they received a great piece of news.
