Busy Philipps Says Her Brain Scan Is Clean, Eight Months After Rare Tumor Diagnosis

Busy Philipps just shared the news we were all hoping for. At the New York City premiere of her new CBS legal drama“Cupertino,”the actress revealed that her latest brain scan came back clean, nearly eight months after she was diagnosed with a rare Grade 2 oligodendroglioma. The tumor, which measured 2.6 centimeters, was discovered during a full-body MRI on February 12 and removed in a five-hour surgery on March 2.

What makes her story even more remarkable is the timing. Philipps learned about her diagnosis on the exact same day she was cast in“Cupertino.”After surgery, a staph infection required a second procedure, yet she still made it to set four weeks after her operation, just as her doctor had predicted. Through it all, she has been candid about her health journey and grateful for the overwhelming support from fans.

Philipps also used the moment to share advice close to her heart: listen to your body, and if a doctor tells you no, keep seeking care if something feels off. It’s a reminder that advocating for yourself can make all the difference. Have you ever had to push for answers about your own health? Tell us your story in the comments.
