Maria Menounos

When she took care of her mother who suffers from stage 4 brain cancer Maria learned that she was facing a health crisis that was her own. In February 2014 Menounos started experiencing troubling symptoms. She has told PEOPLE they've noticed headaches and lightheadedness from February 2014. "My speech became slurred. Also, I had difficulty using the screen." Menounos was diagnosed with a meningioma-sized brain tumor. A MRI confirmed the diagnosis. Menounos booked an appointment with her mom's physician, renowned Neurosurgeon Dr. Keith L. Black who scheduled the surgery for June 8th, her 39th birthday. He told her, "I am 98 percent certain it is benign, but it is not certain until we go into the," The lengthy procedure took seven hours and the doctor. Black was capable of getting rid of 99.9% of the benign cancer. According to her, Dr. Black claimed that it's likely to have the tumor come back in six-to seven percent of cases. The odds of this are my top choice. Menounos has been admitted to hospital for six days, has returned to home and is spending her time healing.
