“If you would have told me two and a 1/4 year ago, when I was diagnosed with brain cancer, I’d be standing back on the sidelines covering football … I’m not sure I’d believe you,” she writes. “It felt so natural. My love and passion will always be sports media.
I’ve worn different hats, covered politics and news, but this … it’s where I thrive.”
“Let this be a reminder: No matter what adversity you face or obstacles you overcome … you’re stronger than what you’re facing. Love y’all.

brittmchenry Verified: At the end of February, I found out I had a brain tumor.
It was in my left frontal lobe—and it was very large. Thankfully (because of COVID-19),
I was able to have surgery just 8 days after discovering the tumor.
I struggled a bit emotionally with that quick turn of events later.
The headaches I had attributed to stress from hard stuff I was experiencing were actually brain tumor symptoms. It had grown so large; it was near my eyes and the headaches involved vomiting. In fact, one time landing at LaGuardia,
I had to sprint to a trash can and throw up (in front of the entire terminal…not fun).
The headaches would get so bad, I’d have to wake up in the middle of the night and
put ice packs on my head.
As soon as we get out of #corona quarantine, I promise to dedicate my time to helping brain tumor patients, especially young patients like myself, as much as I can.

Keeping Your Cancer Battle Private.
More than a year after announcing her brain cancer diagnosis, former Fox Nation host Britt McHenry is back on the field — where she “thrives.” On Sept. 19, she posted to Instagram for the first time in more than a year with an update about how she’s doing post-cancer diagnosis, and everything seems to be going well for her. Battling cancer is
an extremely personal experience, and so is choosing who to tell about your diagnosis.
Hope After Brain Cancer
” Britt McHenry’s Cancer Diagnosis.”
McHenry was originally trying to keep her diagnosis under wraps, which many in the SurvivorNet community can certainly understand. But when news of her health leaked online in February 2020, she decided to take control of the narrative.
She shared with her supporters that a tumor was found on her brain; she added that
she would be having surgery. She said that her doctors believe the tumor was cancerous,
but it was unknown at the time.
“I had good & bad news today,” she posted.
Britt McHenry shared an update about her health in April 2020, just after she had surgery for her brain cancer. She disclosed that a tumor was found in her left frontal lobe, and it was “very large.” “I struggled a bit emotionally with that quick turn of events later,” she posted on Instagram about the surgery. “The headaches I had attributed to stress from hard stuff I was experiencing were actually brain tumor symptoms.
It had grown so large; it was near my eyes and the headaches involved vomiting.
” She also shared that a chiropractor suggested she get an MRI, which caught her cancer.
“I will always be grateful to him,” she says.
“I’m back to work (from home) on TV. Medicine and prayer are both amazing things.
Will be eternally thankful to the world class surgeon and the medical team.
” McHenry was a commentator on Fox Nation and hosted Un-PC, a show on the streaming service. However, she parted ways with Fox over the summer after settling a lawsuit with the television network over a sexual harassment claim she filed in December 2019. In the lawsuit, she claimed that Tyrus, her former co-host, engaged in inappropriate behavior. That behavior included what’s been described as sexually charged text messages.
McHenry is now a host for WTTG/FOX 5 News in Washington, D.C.
Before her time with Fox Nation, she was at ESPN for four years.
Keeping Your Cancer Battle Private: McHenry’s Decision
While she’s since shared a lot of details about her diagnosis, the stage and type of cancer
McHenry has is unknown as she never released that information to the public. This was most likely done in an effort to keep as much of her diagnosis as possible private, considering she didn’t even want to share that she was sick in the first place.
She ended up disclosing most of her cancer journey on social media, but it’s unclear if she would’ve shared if she wasn’t forced to correct the narrative caused by the rumors about her health that were circulating last year. Battling cancer is an extremely personal experience, and so is choosing to whom you want to disclose your diagnosis.

One Year After Brain Cancer Diagnosis: ‘Where I Thrive’ | SurvivorNet
For some people, it’s a no-brainer to share their struggle and absorb as much support as possible, while for others, sharing the news doesn’t come so easily. Dr. Marianna Strongin, a licensed clinical psychologist and founder of Strong In Therapy Psychology, tells Survivor Net that whether someone shares this heavy news is their personal preference.
Related: ‘It’s a Person’s Preference’: Why Some People Share Their Cancer Battles, and Why Others Keep It Quiet | Survivor Net “I recommend sharing, I’m a therapist,” Strongin says with a laugh, “but to whom and how many people is up to the person (with cancer). ”From a psychological stance, “the more that we share, the less likely we are to feel shame, and shame is quite toxic; it makes us feel alone and it makes us feel like there’s something wrong with us,” she says.
“In that instance, it’s better to share; sharing is more connecting.
”Regardless of what you decide, “everyone should focus on what makes them feel good,” Strongin says.Finding Your Support System: Heidi Kugler’s Survivor Story Not All Brain Tumors Are Cancerous Naturally, a lot of people think “cancer” when they hear the word tumor. However, most brain tumors aren’t actually cancerous. Less than one third (about 32%) of brain tumors are considered malignant (cancerous), according to the American Brain Tumor Association. If a tumor is made up of normal-looking cells, then the tumor is benign. But these tumors may still require treatment, such as surgery.
Because of this, they are often referred to as “non-malignant,” since the word benign can be misleading. The most common type of non-malignant brain tumors are meningiomas, however, there are 120 different types of brain and central nervous system tumors, according to ABTA.
Oftentimes after an MRI, a biopsy will be performed on a brain tumor to determine
its type. Sometimes, the results of imaging tests show that a tumor is likely to be non-malignant, and a biopsy is not necessary. Britt McHenry didn’t disclose whether or not
she had a biopsy, simply stating that her tumor would be removed with surgery.

As I was wheeled into the operating room at Johns Hopkins on March 4, 2020, for an eight-hour craniotomy, for just a second, I thought, “I didn’t know if I’m going to wake up from this.” Gratefully, I DID wake up, after my amazing team successfully removed a grade 2 astrocytoma the size of two golf balls from my left frontal lobe.
The first thing I asked for was A cup of coffee.
I listened to Rupert Holmes – Escape (The Piña Colada Song) on repeat to cheer
myself up. I was in the ICU after all, bright lights all around me, wearing what looked
like a helmet of gauze on my head. I even joked that I should put the NFL logo on it.
When my medical team eventually took my “helmet” of gauze off, the swelling
moved from my head to my face. With my career in broadcast news and sports,
I was nervous to eventually go back on camera. “Would my face still look bloated?”
I wondered. “Am I going to be seen as damaged goods?”
The physical and emotional trauma after diagnosis and surgery — along with Covid-19 lockdown less than two weeks later — were the most challenging times of my life.
I felt like I lost a part of me, because physically, I did.
All told, I’m an extroverted, confident person. But for the first three weeks after surgery,
I experienced intense mood changes. I’d get impatient and angry.
Then, I’d have bouts of depression. The fear of fatality would hit me.
I felt half-dead. I would only learn later that decreased motivation, mood swings and even drastic changes in personality are symptoms of frontal lobe trauma.
My expert neurosurgeon, Dr. Henry Brem, essentially said to me, “You’re going to feel this in a month. It will take you, and it’s OK to feel that. It’s not normal to have your head cut open.”
He was right. Acceptance was hard. My confidence only came back about six months ago.
What have I learned from all this?
Those little things we get bogged down by, they just don’t matter.
Early in my career, I was very competitive. At one point, I had two jobs, traveling between New York and Washington D.C. All I cared about was job and career advancement.
When I started having next-level migraines,
like most Americans, I told myself,
“It’s just stress, I have to push through it.”
But after trying self-care, massage and acupuncture for six to eight months,
I decided to see a chiropractor.
When I shared my symptoms, he immediately scheduled an MRI.
Soon after the MRI, the lead radiologist called me into his office.
As I walked down the cold, sterile hallway, I began to cry. I knew something was wrong.
When I walked in, I could see on an array of monitors, there was my tumor, clear as day.
It was massive.
When I heard the word, “brain lesion,” I thought I was going to die.
But I did not die from my brain tumor, and I am here to tell you now
that YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Whether you are a survivor like me, or a caregiver, or a friend or co-worker of a brain tumor survivor, during Brain Tumor Awareness Month, I encourage you to share your story.
I want the general public to have a little more understanding.
Having a brain tumor is a life-enduring medical issue.
The more we can share, the more we can heal.

Medical Edge: Cancer survivor east whole food diet.
CINCINNATI (Liz Bonis) — A local woman who survived cancer said a change in
her diet made all the difference. A young cancer survivor said she had new hope
after not just traditional treatment but also a big change in her diet.
She was part of a team who said people should WATCH Plant Pure Nation documentary
It shares details on the importance of a diet based on whole foods.
Laura Wilson who was diagnosed with brain cancer said, about 14 months ago.
Wilson was grateful to many of the people who not only provided traditional treatment
for glioblastoma multiforme, but an aggressive high grade brain tumor also; they followed
it up by introducing her to a diet that is now growing in popularity across the country.
WATCH: Medical Edge: Cancer survivor east whole food diet – YouTube
That’s thanks in part to a documentary now showing in many parts of the country called PlantPure Nation. The movie suggested people all could benefit from a vegan diet which cuts out food from animals such as meat and adds in more fruits, vegetables and whole or unprocessed foods. Doctor Rekha Chaudhary was Wilson’s cancer specialist. She said in just the time Wilson has been on this type of diet, Her MRI’s have been looking really good. Wilson however said there was something else about it that was really healing,
It was something that we could do to give me a better chance and it gave us hope, which is something we didn’t have in a lot of other avenues to pursue. Whether or not people want to go completely vegan, there are a lot of reasons to eat more plants in the diet.
Restaurants like Rooted, which are vegan allow people to have more options when they
eat out. Really what it comes down to is a what they call a shift of the plate, rather than just covering the plate with meat and potatoes people may actually want to put more plants on the plate.
Dr. T. Colin Campbell, a nutrition professor, said, Really, it’s amazing; you start eating this way and the next thing you know you start craving a salad. The idea was that the earlier people start eating this way the more they give their body what it needs each day to stay well. Doctor Chaudhary said people need more science based studies to support the idea.
Here’s a sample of some of what’s at Rooted: Plant Pure Nation Trailer – YouTube
