She recently shared her story of how she found out she had a brain tumor and what it meant for her and her family.

The doctors were able to remove 99.9 percent of the tumor during her seven-hour procedure that took place on June 8th. Although the majority of the tumor was removed, there’s still a small chance of it returning. Menounos is now recovering at home with her family and focusing on taking care of her mother who has been battling stage-four brain cancer. Menounos shared a lengthy heartfelt post on her Instagram this week updating her fans on her condition. She thanked everyone for their support and ensures them that she is just fine. Luckily for Menounous, she was diagnosed early enough to take care of her tumor, unfortunately for some people it doesn’t always work out that way.
