Today, Thursday, November 14th, 2013 on The Dr. Oz Show, in an exclusive interview, Dr. Oz speaks to former "Real Housewife" Camille Grammer to discuss her radical hysterectomy for her endometrial cancer and to spread the message of her experience to other women.

On how she is doing, Grammer says: "It's been four weeks today, a month ago. I'm feeling great. I have to say once in a while I'll get a little pain here and there, but I'm walking around. I was able to go trick-or-treating with my kids and my life is moving forward and I'm feeling very well."

On how she felt when doctors told her she had cancer, Grammer shares: "My heart sank. You know, you think about your children, am I gonna make it, I want to be alive for them. My kids--my ex-husband hasn't seen the kids since July so I'm mom. I'm there. So I really needed to be here for them. My son doesn't really understand it that well, but my daughter said, mom, I'm so glad you're getting surgery 'cause then the cancer's gonna be all gone."

On her trauma after the operation, Grammer reveals: "Oh, it was just terrible 'cause, you know, right after any kind of procedure, you want to be surrounded by love and you need good healing vibes and positive energy around you and then you--somebody's there to take care of you and love you and--and I was physically abused and assaulted by this person and it was very traumatizing. But now, I'm working with a therapist and I'm going to be okay. I'm doing well."
