It's been a heck of a few of months for MTV Challenge star Diem Brown who is battling cancer for the third time, but she's not letting the tough times get her down.
"I'll beat cancer again," the 32-year-old ovarian cancer survivor told Us Weekly. "I'm a warrior."
Brown has faced the scary C-word on-and-off for nearly 10 years when she recently underwent a surgery this summer only to find out that her cancer had spread to her colon and stomach lining.
"Doctors found one tumor blocking her colon completely so they had to do emergency surgery that evening to remove the blockage," Mstars News reported back in late August. "They were also able to remove the mass, but once they were inside they found out there were multiple tumors."

As Brown talks to Us Magazine's Jennifer Peros, she stays positive in light of the heaviness her illness can bring. "My doctors will be able to tell then if the cocktail is working to shrink the tumors, "she said of her first treatment taking place later this month on Tuesday, November 18.
"I was terrified this was going to be my forever. I have good days and bad."
Brown debuted in the MTV reality series Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Fresh Meat back in 2006. During her first Challenge Brown revealed that she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
During the current season in Panama — and Brown's eight Challenge — she collapsed on set and was airlifted to New York where she was diagnosed with colon cancer.
