Kate Walsh: I Had a Brain Tumor. This is What Happened.
Kate Walsh has opened up about a topic both personal and frightening:
She was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor.
The actress – who rose to fame as Addison Montgomery on Grey’s Anatomy and who then starred on the spinoff Private Practice and who also plays a key role on Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why – divulged this scary tidbit to to Cosmpolitan.
She told the magazine that she went to see a doctor after experiencing serious bouts of exhaustion, while she was simultaneous struggling to finish sentences and had difficulty working out.
“My pilates instructor said ‘hey, your right side is dipping,’ and it didn’t feel like I was off, but I looked down and could see it. Then when I was driving, I started swerving into the right lane,” Walsh told Cosmopolitan.
She continued:
“The exhaustion got to the point where I could drink five cups of coffee and still not feel awake or clear.
“And then around April, I started having more cognitive difficulties.
“It felt like aphasia, but it wasn’t just not being able to find words; I would lose my train of thought, I wasn’t able to finish sentences, and that was when I got really alarmed.”
This all took place in early 2015.
Upon visiting with a neurologist, Walsh received her diagnosis.
“The words ‘brain tumor’ were never in my zeitgeist,” she said, explaining her shock at the time and adding:
“I went in for the MRI, and you know it’s serious when they don’t even wait, they’re like ‘hey, the radiologist wants to see you.’ And she starts to say, ‘Well, it looks like you have a very sizable brain tumor’ – and I just left my body.
“My assistant had driven me there, and I had to go get him so that he could take notes, because I was gone.
“It was never anything I would have imagined.”
Three days after learning about the tumor, Walsh underwent surgery for its removal.
During her road to recovery, Walsh took nine months off, referring to the diagnosis was a “wake-up call.”
“Those cliche, existential things do happen when you have a brain tumor, like, ‘How do I really want to spend my time?’” she said to the magazine.
“I want to be with my friends and family and work on projects that are hugely important to me, and fun, and that make a cultural contribution.
“But my health comes first, and I’ve had to change my lifestyle.”
Appearing on The View on Monday morning, Walsh said she chose to speak out now as part of her partnership with Cigna’s campaign about preventative care.
“It was a perfect opportunity to really emphasize the importance of advocating for your own health, particularly women,” she explained.
The former Grey’s Anatomy regular appears in a new doctor-themed ad with her former colleague, Patrick Dempsey, along with other actors who famously played doctors, such as Neil Patrick Harris.
“We had such a blast,” Walsh says of the campaign. “It was so fun for me to be reunited with Patrick.”
We’re just so glad to hear that Walsh had this potentially major problem diagnosed early and taken care of quickly.
We wish her the best.

Maria Menounos: Diagnosed With Brain Tumor as Mom Fights Brain Cancer
Maria Menounos is on the road to recovery after having surgery to remove a golf-ball-size meningioma brain tumor.
The 39-year-old underwent the surgery while her mother, Litsa Menounos, battled stage 4 brain cancer.
The E! News coanchor confirmed the news to People Magazine.
“This February I thought I had an ear infection, so I went to a doctor, and he said, ‘Your ears are the cleanest things I’ve ever seen. What else are you feeling?’ I’d been getting light-headed on-set and having headaches.”
“My speech had gotten slurred, and I was having difficulty reading the teleprompter. I said, ‘I know you’re going to think I’m crazy, but I think I have a brain tumor like my mom,’” Maria continued.
“He said, ‘I don’t think you’re crazy. Let’s just get an MRI.’ The next week I started feeling better, so I was like, ‘I’m clearly paranoid.’ So I kept pushing the MRI.”
Fast forward three months and the tumor has been removed. The tumor was revealed not to be cancerous, and her prognosis is hopeful.
Maria has decided to give up her role within E! News to recover and allow herself to think about the next chapter of her life.
“I am so grateful for the past three years at E!, I had such an amazing time co-hosting with Jason Kennedy and working everyday with the wonderful roster of talent on the show including producers, staff, and crew,” Maria said in a statement.
“It was such a special, good-hearted group and one I’ll always consider family. A special thank you to Frances Berwick and Adam Stotsky for all the support they have shown me through the years especially during these tough times. I will truly miss everyone and looking forward to this next chapter in my life.”
In addition to speaking to People, Maria opened up about her experience on The Today Show.
“For me, I saw it as a huge blessing and a huge gift because I needed to change my life,” she said, trying to hold back the tears.
“We’re caretakers as women, and we help everybody, and we put ourselves last always. And I don’t think — at least for me — I guess I realized I didn’t value myself in a lot of ways. And so I think that that was a really important lesson.”
Maria also opened up about her intentions to start a family in the wake of the ordeal.
“I want to start a family,” she added on Today. “You realize really quickly when something like this happens that nothing else really matters.”
We at The Hollywood Gossip wish Maria a speedy recovery.
