Shannen underwent surgery to have a tumor removed from her brain in January 2023.
“We got almost all,” Shannen shared on her Let’s Be Clear podcast, “and the rest we handled with brain radiation.”
However, she also experienced major setbacks in her road to recovery, including a “horrible reaction with steroids” she was taking at the time.
“I tried to cut it down, and then the brain would swell a little bit more, and the hand would stop working completely,” she told People, explaining that she lost the ability to hold an object in her right hand for three months. “The first time a glass slipped right through my hand, I was like, ‘No, no, no, no, no. This is not happening.'”
