Maria Menounos Brain Tumor Surgery Update: ‘E! News’ Host Shares Inspirational Post Two Months After Operation
Maria Menounos’ brain tumor surgery was done just two months ago, but the former E! News host is showing signs that she’s on her way to full recovery. In fact, Menounos has shared an inspirational post on Instagram to her followers on Saturday, proving once again to the world that she has more than enough mettle to face the challenges coming her way, Entertainment Tonight reports.
In the TV personality’s heartfelt Instagram message, she reflected on how the “really tough times” helped her to become “tougher and wiser,” and she urged her followers to realize that while nothing in life is ever easy, challenges are there “for a reason.”
The full text of her Maria Menounos’ inspirational message is as follows.
“For anyone going through a tough time. We all go through difficult times in every area of life. No one has it easy. What I always try to remind myself is that every bad time has also been a gift. A chance to learn and grow. I look back at all the really tough times and realize it was all building blocks to get me tougher and wiser. This helped me keep a good attitude through my #braintumor diagnosis and surgery. I really do believe that everything happens for a reason, we just don’t know why yet. Have a blessed Saturday everyone.”
Despite Maria Menounos’ brain tumor surgery two months ago, the E! News star appeared to be in good spirits when she was spotted with her fiancé, Keven Undergaro, walking the streets of Beverly Hills earlier this week. Maria is looking fine as ever as she showcased her toned abs in a black crop top, which was wonderfully set off by her ripped jeans, yellow loafers, and black baseball cap.

It was only last month when Maria announced that she was diagnosed with a meningioma brain tumor back in February. It was made all the more tragic on account of the fact that Maria Menounos’ mother, Lisa, has been battling Stage 4 brain cancer.
As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Menounos is on her way to recovery from her brain tumor after doctors removed approximately 99.9 percent of it.
As her mom’s caretaker, Maria Menounos saw firsthand the telltale symptoms of brain cancer, which made it easier for her to spot the signs that she’s afflicted with the disease as well. In an interview with People magazine, she said she started noticing that she was having difficulty reading the teleprompter at the studio. On top of numerous instances of lightheadedness and severe headaches, she also noticed that her speech had gotten slurred. Maria started to notice symptoms of a brain tumor in herself back in February.
Menounos kept her brain tumor diagnosis from her parents on account of her mother’s illness until right before her June 8 surgery, which had a golfball-sized tumor removed from her brain.
Maria Menounos, who worked for three years with E! News and authored the EveryGirl series of lifestyle guides, has not stated her plans once she has recovered from her brain tumor surgery.
