Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian had half of his thyroid removed after learning a biopsy of some “suspicious nodules” indicated they’d “very likely turn cancerous.”

Ohanian, who has been married to retired tennis legend Serena Williams since 2017, shared a hospital selfie to Instagram on Thanksgiving in which he wrote, “After tracking some suspicious nodules on my thyroid for the last four years, I recently got half of it surgically removed.”

He went on to explain, “The nodules were getting bigger and the latest biopsy revealed they’d very likely turn cancerous.
