TheBraxton Family Valuesalum is celebrating her 56th birthday afterundergoing surgeryin September 2022 to unblock the main artery in her heart as a result of her systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
“I kept putting it off thinking, ‘Oh, I’m fine. I’ll be OK.’ But my doctor was persistent and I went to get tested in the last week of September. I did a specialized test and they looked at my heart and saw some abnormalities,” Braxton told PEOPLE of her condition in April.

She continued, “I found out that I needed a coronary stent. My left main coronary artery was 80% blocked. The doctors told me I could’ve had a massive heart attack, I would not have survived.”
Of the “traumatic” health scare, Toni said, “I look at it like it was a blessing in disguise for me because now, putting off tests? Oh no, I will not put off tests.”
As for how she was feeling six months post-op, Braxton told PEOPLE at the time, “There are good days and bad days. I’m going to be honest, sometimes the bad days get me down. I’m not superwoman. I like to think I am. I like to feel like I’m that boss bitch all the time, but I’m also a human. When my body tells me to take it down and relax, I have to listen to it.”
“But I always try to be optimistic. The glass is always half full,” she added.
