On Monday, the TV and radio host opened up about the recent surgery she underwent to remove a golf-sized benign tumor from her brain. Her mother, Litsa Menounos, is also battling stage 4 cancer.

“It’s so surreal and crazy and unbelievable that my mom has a brain tumor and now I have one too?” she said of the diagnosis. Menounos’ doctors were able to remove 99.9% of the tumor and it has a a six or seven percent chance of returning. “I’ll take those odds any day.”

To thank fans for their outpouring support, Menounos took to Instagram with a smiley pic with her mom.

“First I wanna say thank you all for the well wishes, prayers and support. It’s been a crazy time here in our home. I want you all to know that I’m ok! Seriously I’m recovering well and should be as good as new very very soon!” she wrote. “Luckily I don’t need any further treatments but I can’t say the same about my mom. So please keep her in your prayers.”

Menounos went on to thank the staff at Cedars Sinai hospital for all of their “amazing” treatment during her stay.

I cried like a baby saying goodbye to the amazing nurses who took such good care of me. God bless nurses! I of course need to thank dr black and dr Chu for performing an amazing surgery and giving me the best bday gift ever-my health.

And, finally, Menounos shared her gratitude and love for her friends who have supported her.
