Maria Menounos

Maria was helping her mother who had Stage 4 cancer of the brain. She discovered that she had the middle of a health crisis. In February 2014 Menounos started experiencing troubling symptoms. In an exclusive article of PEOPLE Menounos admits that she'd been suffering from headaches and lightheadedness during sets. "My speech was slurred. Also, I had difficulty using the screen." A MRI found that Menounos suffered from a large golf ball-sized meningioma brain tumor, which was pressing onto her facial nerves. Menounos reached an agreement for surgery with doctor. Keith L. Black the neurosurgeon who is her mother's doctor and set the surgery to be performed on June 8. Menounos is now 39 years old. Dr. Black stated that the tumor was 98 percent benign. However, we wouldn't have the ability to determine until we get there. Dr. Black managed to eliminate 99.9 percent of benign tumors through a surgery that took seven hours. She says that Dr. Black stated that it is likely to have the tumor return in between six and seven percent of the cases. They're my best choice. Menounos has been home since an inpatient stay of six days. Menounos is recuperating and enjoying time with Litsa, her mother. Litsa's most recent MRI confirms that she's still free of cancer.
