Charrisse Jackson-Jordan's Son Jackson Jordan Shares His Colon Cancer Story: Diagnosed at 27, Now Cancer-Free
BC NEWS
Jackson Jordan, the son of Real Housewives of Potomac star Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, has spoken publicly for the first time about the colon cancer he was diagnosed with at 27. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE published October 14, 2026, Jackson and his mother describe a diagnosis the family carried quietly through months of treatment — and the September scans that showed no evidence of disease.
Jackson first noticed symptoms in fall 2025: blood in his stool and changes in his bowel habits. He kept them hidden, he told PEOPLE, out of fear of what doctors would say. He is sharing his story now for a specific reason — to urge young people not to ignore symptoms or delay seeing a doctor, as he did at first.
A Diagnosis at 27
In late November 2025, after nearly fainting on his way to the gym with his sister Skylar, Jackson saw the family's physician. Bloodwork showed dangerously low hemoglobin, and during a three-day hospital stay, a colonoscopy found a tumor. He was diagnosed with colon cancer at 27.
By January 2026, he had learned the cancer was caught early and had not spread. What followed was months of treatment: two months of weekly radiation, a month of recovery, and then four months of biweekly chemotherapy.
Cancer-Free
Jackson completed treatment at the end of August 2026. Scans in early September 2026 showed no evidence of disease, and he was declared cancer-free. He is now 28 and will have routine checkups every three months.
Kept Private, Shared on Purpose
Through diagnosis and treatment, Jackson kept his condition private among his immediate family and a few friends, and he continued his modeling work during treatment. His father is former NBA player and coach Eddie Jordan.
His reason for speaking now is the message itself. In his own words to PEOPLE:
