Michael Jackson's ex-wife, Debbie Rowe has been diagnosed with breast cancer, and their estranged daughter, Paris Jackson doesn't know. Rowe will undergo surgery next week, but her 18-year-old daughter has no idea because she broke all contact with her mom more than a year ago.


Rowe has all but given up on salvaging the relationship. After Michael died, Rowe and Paris got extremely close, to the point it created friction with the rest of the family, TMZ reports.

When Paris began dealing with her own problems, the relationship fell apart. Rowe believes the family influenced their daughter and drove a wedge.
