"I was doing some filming and suddenly they told me that I [passed out] for 20 minutes. And I was in hospital, I went to one hospital, they took me to another hospital, and I did every test over two days, and nobody knows why. "Prior to the fainting incident, she revealed she was briefly hospitalized after she tested positive for COVID-19 in 2020. The mother of three was also previously diagnosed with stage three colon cancer, but is now in remission. Sharon has opened up about her cancer journey. She had just arrived in New York City to film an episode of The Osbournes when an employee called her in her hotel room to tell her the positive results of her colonoscopy. "My stomach just dropped," she recalled (perPersonal Health News). "I ran into the bathroom, threw up, and then collapsed on the floor crying. I was that terrified. " Her children, Aimee, Kelly, and Jack, were with her at the time and called Ozzy, who arranged for a plane to take his family home to Los Angeles. Ozzy was waiting for them on the tarmac, holding a bouquet of flowers. "Ozzy was wearing a suit that I loved and my favorite cologne," Sharon recalled 13 years later. "He took me in his arms and said, 'It's going to be fine. ' It was just amazing. "In less than 24 hours, Sharon was being prepped for surgery at Cedars-Sinai Hospital. Her doctors prepared her for every possible outcome. "In the best-case scenario, he would discover that the cancer had not spread. He would cut it out and I wouldn’t require further treatment," she said. "I was feeling optimistic. I was of the mind that I would be fine after the operation. "However, the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes, and after having two feet of her gastrointestinal tract removed, she had to endure eight months of chemotherapy. "On the first day you get the chemo, you feel fine but, oh my Lord, the next day you feel absolutely horrible. It's like your body has been attacked. You deal with diarrhea and vomiting — and that is just the beginning," Sharon explained. "Soon, your sense of smell gets distorted and you can’t taste food. Your hair falls out, including your eyebrows and eyelashes. It’s worse than you can imagine. "Sharon also suffered seizures while undergoing chemotherapy, which she called "truly frightening. " Her cancer journey was documented in the second season of The Osbournes, but she later emerged from her battle. "It made me realize that what I do in the entertainment business is really quite ridiculous — insignificant in the big picture. I know that because my journey opened up my world to people whose work is truly important, people who save lives and help those in need. It was all very humbling," she said. She also said she became more appreciative of people. "During my ordeal, I received thousands of letters of support from people all over the world. Complete strangers reached out to me with their prayers and words of encouragement," she said. "It was amazing and it made me realize that people are inherently good. "Sharon remains involved with the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Foundation, which she founded in 2004 to help others battling the disease, and she continues to uphold an important message.
