Maria Menounos
Maria discovered that she had an individual health issue as she took care of her mother with cancer of the brain in stage 4. In February 2014 Menounos started experiencing troubling symptoms. "I'd experienced lightheadedness while on set, and was suffering from headaches," she tells PEOPLE in the magazine's exclusive new front page story. "My speech was slurred. It was also difficult for me to reading the Teleprompter." A MRI confirmed Menounos to have a huge-sized meningioma brain tumour which has grown to the size as a golf ball. The tumour was pressing the facial nerves. Menounos set an appointment visit her neurosurgeon mother, Dr. Keith L. Black. The surgeon scheduled the surgery to take place on June 8, Menounos' 39th birthday. Dr. Black stated that the tumor was 98 percent safe. The only thing is that we will not know that when they've reached that point. The complex operation took about seven hours. Dr. Black was capable of removing 99.9% of the benign cancer. "He told me there's an eight to seven percent probability that it'll be back again," she says. These odds are my best option. Menounos, who was admitted to hospital for 6 days, is now at home, and spending recuperating.
