Davina McCall revealed that his benign brain tumor “does not come back” following recent MRI.
The former host of Big Brother underwent surgery in November After a colloid cyst was found earlier this month during a health check in the context of his menopause advocacy work.
During an interview in tears last month, she said that the craniotomy – which involved part of her skull removed to eliminate the tumor – was “the most difficult thing” she had experienced.
“So here it is. Our final update of brain surgery,” said a joyful McCall on Saturday, who was joined with his boyfriend, Michael Douglas, told him the Instagram subscribers.
“Had the last MRI this week @ brain.surgery.uk came out during surgery, it doesn’t come back.”
“I was a little nervous about this because I knew that if it remained, then it would grow back and I would come back again by everything – what I was ready to do,” said McCall in a video filmed under the sun.
“I was also very nervous about it,” said Douglas, who was treated for the 57 -year -old woman when she was recovering, adding: “It was a huge trip.”
“But it was clear!” revealed the mother of three excited children.
The couple also shared their “sincere” thanks for the support received from medical teams as well as their friends and family.
“I am so grateful, especially because I know that many people have inoperable tumors and I know that I am lucky to be able to trace a line under this and to move on when so many people cannot,” she said.
A benign tumor is not cancerous, but such cysts tend to grow slowly, according to the charity of the brain.
They represent less than 2% of all primary brain tumors, and the growth rate and symptoms may vary from person to person.
Non -cancerous brain tumors are more frequent in people over 50, and symptoms may include headache, vision problems and drowsiness, the NHS website indicates.
Some may be difficult to remove without damaging the surrounding tissues. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy can also be used if surgery does not succeed.
McCall added that she wanted to question the hypothesis that many people have that benign brain tumors do not put their lives in danger, as they can still be.
“And I’m just going to say this time more … Benign does not mean well.”
