Vicki Gunvalson can breathe a major sigh of relief.

After updating fans on her daughter Briana Culberson's recent doctor appointments, the Real Housewives of Orange County star was more than happy to share some good news.

"Biopsy results are back -----NO CANCER detected for Briana's most recent biopsy!" she wrote on Twitter Tuesday night. "Thank you Jesus. #answeredprayers."

Just last week, Gunvalson told her followers that she was traveling from the OC to Oklahoma to be with her daughter. Briana was having surgery to remove enlarged lymph nodes.

Just days later, the Bravolebrity said the surgery went well. "She is recovering at home with her husband, 2 babies & me," she wrote. "Thank you everyone for your thoughts & prayers!"

Fans of the Real Housewives of Orange County have witnessed Briana's health concerns for several seasons. In 2012, the registered nurse underwent surgery on her thyroid. Gunvalson later reported that everything "was benign" with "no cancer."

"She has been through a lot herself in the past few years, and always has a smile on her face and always tells me like it is," Gunvalson wrote on her Bravo blog. "There is no grey area with her. She inspires me to look at the big picture of life, which is family and close friends, and to not let the things that don't really matter in the big picture weigh heavy on me."

While Gunvalson has faced headlines in recent weeks surrounding ex-boyfriend Brooks Ayers' cancer lies, the reality star is looking forward to more time with her immediate family.

Briana's family is set to move to an Orange County community called Ladera Ranch, Calif., to be closer to mom. To say Gunvalson is excited would be an understatement.

"We are happy and thankful and blessed," Gunvalson wrote to a Twitter follower. "[2016] can't come soon enough."
