Fox Nation host Britt McHenry, 33, reveals she has a brain tumor
Britt McHenry, a contributor for Fox News and host of Un-PC on Fox Nation, announced Thursday she has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. She tweeted "surgery is imminent."
I was trying to keep this relatively private. But as usual, things are being said without my consent.
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.— Britt McHenry (@BrittMcHenry) February 27, 2020
McHenry, 33, revealed on Tuesday she had a MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) on her head and neck, but didn't divulge details. The following day, she announced she got "good [and] bad news."
MRI tomorrow for neck and brain. Never had one before, pretty nervous. 😕

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 💪🏼.
Please I can’t stress enough, make your check-ups. Get an MRI early. It could have saved me.— Britt McHenry (@BrittMcHenry) February 26, 2020
McHenry, a former ESPN reporter, joined Fox News as a contributor in July 2018. In December 2019, she sued Fox News Channel and her former Un-PC host George Murdoch, known as Tyrus, alleging sexual harassment, gender discrimination and retaliation.
"I am standing up for myself, for women and for what’s right," she tweeted at the time.
I am standing up for myself, for women and for what’s right. I have maintained the same allegations because the truth doesn’t change. I feel for any sexual harassment victim who has their story and evidence dismissed, doubted and not believed.

The television personality called 2019 one of the "hardest" years of her life.
McHenry has received well wishes after her health revelation on Thursday. The View co-host Meghan McCain tweeted, "Sending love and strength Brit. Please let me know if there’s anything we can do."
