Margaret Josephs from The Real Housewives of New Jersey is embracing gratitude while discussing her husband Joe Benignos ongoing health journey. Fans discovered in Season 14 that Joe was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Margaret reports that Joe is currently in good health, and she feels immense thankfulness for his current state.

During a conversation at BravoCon 2025 with The Daily Dish, Margaret revealed details about Joes treatment plan. She explained that although there were multiple treatment paths available, they decided not to pursue surgery to remove the tumor. Instead, they are taking a watchful approach as the cancer appears to be slow-growing and stable. Margaret confirmed that it has not progressed over the past year.

Joes feeling fantastic. His cancer hasnt changed or advanced at all. He undergoes regular checkups and just celebrated a major milestonehis 70th birthday right before BravoCon. He looks incredible. BravoCon was basically his birthday celebration, Margaret shared.

Joes prostate cancer was first highlighted in Season 14 when he showed elevated PSA levels. Doctors confirmed the presence of a tumor but, considering its slow growth, active monitoring was chosen over surgical intervention. Margaret noted that surgery could bring side effects, and since immediate removal wasnt necessary, they opted to keep a careful watch on his condition. Follow-up appointments are scheduled every few months, with the understanding that the tumor may remain stable for years.

With Joe feeling well, fans are curious whether Margaret might return to RHONJ when the cast is finalized. While no official announcement was made at BravoCon, Andy Cohen indicated the show is nearing the desired lineup. The Real Housewives of New Jersey is available for streaming on Peacock.
