The "Grey's Anatomy" actress Kate Walsh just revealed that she was diagnosed with a Brain Tumor back in 2015. In one of her interviews with Cosmopolitan, the actress shared about the different symptoms that have continually progressed, as well as her journey to recovery after the benign tumor was removed from her head.
According to E! News, the actress felt worn out a lot of times due to her long hours of work on TV shows. She also explained that she was working insane for more than 80 hours in a week. Hence, she was no longer surprised when diagnosed with a tumor on her brain.
As she continued her statement, she later revealed that she started to have cognitive difficulties when her symptoms started to progress.
Getting an MRI
When the actress started feeling severe symptoms, she opted to get an MRI where she officially learned about her diagnosis. She further revealed that she started losing her thoughts back then and she wasn't even able to finish a sentence.
It was hard for her to accept the diagnosis at first. She recalled how the radiologist has called her attention and uttered that she's having a sizable brain tumor. Perhaps, her brain tumor diagnosis was something that she never imagined to have. She also recalled how her assistant had driven for here in order to take some notes from her doctor.
It was one of the worst situations she ever faced.
