Maria Menounos, the American entertainment reporter, has announced that she has defeated pancreatic cancer while sharing the news of a new addition to her family. Menounos, 42, shared the exciting news with People Magazine, saying she was “thrilled” to welcome a new child into her family while expressing gratitude at beating cancer less than two years after her initial diagnosis. In 2017, Menounos underwent a seven-hour operation to remove a tumor the size of a golf ball from her brain. In addition to the good news of her health and family life, Menounos also discussed her recent partnership with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network to shed a light on the often-overlooked disease. Pancreatic cancer is one of the rarest forms of cancer and is often difficult to detect until it is at an advanced stage. Menounos’ bravery in fighting and beating this disease is an inspiration for many looking for hope and strength in the face of adversity. This news is a reminder of the importance of early detection and supporting cancer research, not only for pancreatic cancer but for all forms of cancer.
