Fox News commentator and former ESPN reporter Britt McHenry announced that she has to undergo surgery for a brain tumor.
McHenry, 33, made the announcement on Twitter Thursday, saying she wanted to keep the health issue "relatively private."
"As usual, things are being said without my consent," she said. "I have a brain tumor. I'm with an amazing medical team and surgery is imminent. Thank you for continued support and understanding at this time."
Earlier this week McHenry said on Twitter that she was having an MRI on her neck and brain and was "pretty nervous," as it was her first time.
"I had good & bad news today. Overwhelmed by the support by friends & strangers alike. With the best surgeons and doctors. Just another thing to take on," McHenry, who joined Fox Nation in 2018, later said. "Please I can't stress enough, make your check-ups. Get an MRI early. It could have saved me."
