Teresa Giudice's eldest daughter Gia Giudice is keeping her head held high as she seeks answers about her health.
How to Watch
Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and Bravo.
In a new TikTok video from March 12, the 24-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey daughter revealed that she recently found a lump in her armpit as she gave her followers a look at a day in her life.
"Waking up this morning, I knew today was going to be a lot," she shared. "Last night I found a little lump right below my left armpit but I just woke up and did my normal routine like any other day. I always have to keep going otherwise I will drive myself insane."
After sharing a glimpse of her 7:30 a.m. pilates class, Gia headed to get bloodwork done, but explained that this was unrelated to the lump in her armpit. To seek treatment for the latter, she later visited her doctor and had an ultrasound performed. "From the doctor's observation, they think it's a lipoma," Gia shared.
According to the Mayo Clinic, a lipoma is a noncancerous and typically harmless fatty lump found beneath the skin.
Gia Giudice details "overwhelming" experience getting a health diagnosis
Gia described the whole ordeal as being a "very overwhelming" experience, saying in her TikTok, "I'm so scared and just seeing other patients in the waiting room and what other people are going through just got me so upset."
To decompress after going to the doctors, Gia said she met up with her cousins for a quick lunch, "which made me feel a lot better."
Still feeling upset, Gia asked her boyfriend, Christian Carmichael, to treat her to pizza from a local spot. As she put it, "I eat when I'm sad."
In closing, Gia told her followers to let the video serve as "a little reminder to always check in with yourself and your body."
What Gia Giudice is up to now
The 24-year-old graduated from Rutgers University in 2023 and planned on taking the LSAT so she could go on to study law. However, she put her plans to attend law school on hold last year, with her mom Teresa telling The Daily Dish in October that Gia simply wasn't "ready" to take this next step in her career.
"She took her LSAT. And then she was studying to take her LSATs again, but she wasn’t ready at the moment. So she just wanted to take a break," Teresa said.

Still, she shared that she was proud of Gia for making that decision, as she doesn't want her eldest to rush into anything.
"I told her, I [said], 'Listen, you have your whole life ahead of you,'" Teresa continued. "She finished college, and she did great, and I’m like, 'You know what, take a break, focus on your influencing career... then you can go back to studying and take your LSATs again.'"
