Kelsey Grammer's ex-wife undergoes surgery for cancer

Kelsey Grammer's ex-wife Camille is recovering after undergoing cancer surgery.

The reality TV star was recently diagnosed with early-stage endometrial cancer, which targets the lining of the uterus, and her representative Howard Bragman has confirmed his client underwent "a radical hysterectomy" on Friday (11Oct13).

He tells People magazine, "The surgery went well and she is expected to make a complete recovery following a significant recuperation period."

He continues, "Ms. Grammer expresses gratitude to all the amazing health care professionals who have taken such loving and nurturing care of her. She urges all women to be aware of genetic factors relating to women's cancers and get regular checkups."

The 45 year old has two children via a surrogate with her ex-husband. Kelsey and Camille split in 2010 and were divorced a year later.
