Brown, 32, first battled ovarian cancer at the age of 23 and it returned in 2012. She was declared in remission last year but the cancer has now been found in her colon, reported People magazine.
Brown was filming a new reality show when she collapsed and was moved to a hospital in New York. She underwent emergency surgery last Sunday August 17, after doctors discovered a large tumour blocking her colon.
Complications from the first operation caused an infection and Brown underwent another round of surgery three days later. She is in a stable condition in an intensive care unit.
"This is the third time she's had to deal with this and she's ready for it. It's definitely an uphill battle, but I know if anybody can do it it's her," she added.
