Williams, 43, had an MRI to see what the lump was and was diagnosed with a cyst.
She underwent surgery to remove the cyst because it “kept growing.”
Doctors advised her to remove it because they warned that it had reached the size of a “small grapefruit”.
There was also the risk that it could “become infected or worse, leak.”
She decided to have the operation after several tests, and the biopsy showed that she was negative for cancer.
Williams informed her followers positively after the procedure.
She wrote: “So this is me removing it.
“I feel so grateful and lucky that everything worked out, and most importantly, I’m healthy.”
