Maria Menounos

Maria realized she was suffering from an individual health issue as she looked after her mother suffering from Stage 4 brain tumors. In February 2014 Menounos started experiencing troubling symptoms. She has told PEOPLE they've noticed headaches and lightheadedness since February 2014. "My speech became blurred. It was also difficult for me to comprehending the Teleprompter." A MRI confirmed Menounos to have a very large meningioma tumor in the brain that has grown to the size as a golf ball. It was pressing on the facial nerves. Menounos agreed to an appointment in conjunction with the Dr. Keith L. Black her mother's neurosurgeon , and scheduled surgery for the 8th of June. Menounos is now 39 years old. Dr. Black said it was 98 percent safe. We won't know that until we get there. The lengthy procedure took seven hours and the doctor. Black was capable of eliminating 99.9 percent of the benign cancer. According to Dr. Black, there's the possibility that the cancer will come back. But I will consider these odds any day of the week. Menounos is home after a six-day stay in hospital. She's currently recovering and enjoying time with Litsa the mother of her. Litsa's latest MRI confirms she's healthy and free from cancer.
