Sneak Peek - REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ's Amber Marchese Visits THE REAL Today

New Jersey Housewife AMBER MARCHESE visits "The Real" for a special episode acknowledging Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Amber talks about her very personal struggle with breast cancer, and why she feels it is important to share her story. Amber also dishes on rumors surrounding her RHONJ cast members in a fun game of "Dish or Dine!"

Amber Marchese: You know when you go through everything... I had a double mastectomy, I had a year and a half of chemotherapy. I mean... I have huge scars. My areolae aren't even mine, I have no sensation, they're skin grafts. I have no sensation whatsoever. I lost my hair, my eyebrows, my eyelashes. You know, like... you don't feel pretty and I just wanted women to know that although you do go through this, there is light at the end of the tunnel and you could still be beautiful.

Tamera Mowry-Housley: What would you say got you through it?

Amber Marchese: Definitely my husband. He was there from the beginning to my last treatment, every surgery, every chemo treatment, everything. My little ones were so young. They were six months and a year and a half, almost two. I was actually breastfeeding when I found the lumps. There was a couple of them and I turned to my husband and he said, "You gotta get it checked out." Like I overreact on everything but when he said, "Get it checked out." I was like, "Okay, I gotta get it checked out. Like I have to do what I have to do." And the last chemo treatment, I was so excited. I didn't need help anymore. I could go home and just get on the ground and play with my kids. It was just the best thing.
