about her hormonal tumors after “trying to get to the bottom” of her health issues.
“Now I know. It was stress,” she said.
Menounos, 45 — who sought out a holistic expert in order to get an explanation instead
of only a diagnosis — said “can’t change” that she once lived in “fight or flight [mode]
every single day,” however she has made “incredible strides” to become more tranquil.

Maria stated she had a great time on @notskinnybutnotfat chatting about all thing’s
health and unexpected cancer diagnosis, as well as my love for meditation even though
I never thought I could do it. It was also great to decompress about getting trapped in an old dream! Amanda is amazing and I hope you’ll listen:) MARIA MENOUNOS (@mariamenounos) • Instagram photos and videos.
Menounos has worked as a broadcast journalist and actress for more than two decades.
“I can’t change the first however many years of my life where I lived in fight or flight every single day,” she said. The entertainment journalist credited a meditation program called The Formula for erasing her “crippling” anxiety that she had intended to treat with medication within just three days.
“[The anxiety] was gone and has not come back,” Menounos shared.
“It was so life-changing.” She added, “I’m still working on everything
but that mack truck is hard to slow down once it’s coming.”

Menounos was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in 2017,
while her mom was battling brain cancer that eventually took her life.
Six years later, she was diagnosed with stage two pancreatic cancer just
months after she and husband, Keven Undergaro, found out they were
expecting their first child via surrogate.
The WWE alum told Hirsch that she had symptoms of the cancer,
but her physicians told her she was “fine” and overlooked the tumor.
The cancer was discovered after doctors insisted she was “fine.”

By the time they found it a couple months later, it had doubled in size.
“When they found the tumor in the MRI, they said, ‘Can we go back and
get the records and look at the November scan?
I bet it was there,’” she explained. ” And it was. At that point it was two centimeters
(0.79 inches) and by the time they had found it was almost 4 centimeters (1.5 inches),
it had doubled in size in two months.”
The TV presenter said she’s “still getting to the bottom”
of how her doctors missed the tumor.
It will be the first child for both Menounos and her husband,
Keven Undergaro.
Menounos discovered she was going to become a mom via surrogate two months before she got the cancer diagnosis. “What I’ve learned since is… different scans have the ability to see different things better,” she explained.

“For this, an MRI was what’s really going to see it, for other things CAT scans are better, for other things an ultrasound better. “It’s a really complicated process….” she added.
Deadly Mistake: Maria Menounos Reveals Doctors Missed Her Cancerous Tumor —
Which Doubled in Size Before She Was Finally Diagnosed
Story by Nikki Schuster
Maria revealed her cancerous tumor was overlooked by doctors, leading to it doubling in size. The television personality addressed the major mishap on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, months after she was diagnosed with stage two pancreatic cancer in January.
The 45-year-old explained her tumor grew substantially since her first scan in November, as she later underwent a full-body MRI scan, which was when she was finally diagnosed.
“When they found the tumor in the MRI, they said, ‘Can we go back and get the records and look at the November scan? I bet it was there,’” Menounos — who is expecting her
first child via surrogate with husband Keven Undergaro — recalled. “And it was.
The brunette bombshell noted she was “still getting to the bottom” of how doctors
could miss such a serious diagnosis last year, adding: “What I’ve learned since is…
different scans have the ability to see different things better.”
Continued Menounos: “For this, an MRI was what’s really going to see it, for other things CAT scans are better, for others things an ultrasound better. It’s a really complicated process….”

“So the radiologist went back and he was able to see it and do an addendum and also say,
‘Yes, now with the knowledge it was there, we’re able to see it is there,’” she said, sharing that she recalled suffering from chronic abdominal pain before she was diagnosed.
“I had severe diarrhea for a month and a half. I did all the stool tests, they came back negative, nothing was bad,” Menounos detailed. “I went and got a CAT scan, they said, ‘You’re fine.’” However, Menounos’ “pain kept persisting,” but “any time” she complained to her doctor about “the pain,” they said: “‘We’ve done all the tests.’”
Menounos shared her cancer diagnosis in May, three months after she and Undergaro announced they were expecting a baby girl. “I was just f**cking gutted,” Menounos — who had a decade-long struggle with fertility — candidly admitted of learning her diagnosis. “I was just guttural crying and I was like I can’t believe God
just blessed me with a baby, I’m gonna have a baby.”
Luckily, the doctors caught the cancer in time, and she underwent surgery in February to remove the tumor along with part of her pancreas, her spleen, a large fibroid and 17 lymph nodes, as OK! previously reported. Page Six reported Menounos’ podcast revelations.
