Maria Menounos
Maria found out she was facing an individual health issue as she cared for her mother with stages 4 brain tumors. In February 2014 Menounos started experiencing troubling symptoms. "I'd been getting lightheaded during filming and suffering migraines" the actress tells PEOPLE in the magazine's new exclusive cover story. My speech had become slurred, and I had trouble comprehending the teleprompter. An MRI showed Menounos to have a large-sized meningioma tumor in the brain that had grown up to the size of a golf ball. It was pushing on her facial nerves. Menounos made an appointment with her mother's doctor renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Keith L. Black who scheduled the surgery to be performed on June 8 - her birthday. "He said, 'I'm 98 percent certain it's normal, but it will be determined once we're there at the time of surgery,'" she says. The complicated procedure took around seven hours and Dr. Black was capable of removing 99.9% of the benign tumor. According Dr. Black, there is 7 percent likelihood of the tumor recurring. This is my most reliable chance to bet. Menounos has been admitted to hospital for six days, is now at home, and spending recuperating.
