As of the time of this post, there were no further updates on McHenrys procedure. She kept the location of her procedure private.<\/p>\n
McHenry explained on an Instagram video on Tuesday how she discovered the tumor in an effort to raise awareness.<\/p>\n
Ive been having headaches for six months now, but I was going through a very public and well-documented stressful situation at work, McHenry said. So I assumed the migraines and vomiting and nausea was associated with that stress.<\/p>\n
She said a chiropractor eventually recommended that she undergo an MRI, which detected a golf-ball sized tumor.<\/p>\n
Please know, I'm only 33, and if you are having consistent symptoms anywhere, it could be something more serious,\" she said.<\/p>\n
It's scary to have your head cut open, but I'm in good hands, and I appreciate everyone whos reached out.<\/p>\n
The stress McHenry mentioned referenced a sexual harassment suit she filed against her employer.<\/p>\n
In December,she sued Fox News, claiming the network failed to respond to her multiple accusations that former co-host George Murdoch sexually harassed her.<\/p>\n
Prior to joining Fox News as a host on streaming service Fox Nation, McHenry spent three years at ESPN from 2014-17 as a reporter making regular contributions to SportsCenter, NFL Live and Baseball Tonight.<\/p>\n
She was part ofa round of mass layoffs at ESPN in 2017. From there, she leaned into her conservative political beliefs, translating them into a role with the Fox News network.<\/p>\n
