Lauren Holiday has a benign tumor on the right side of her brain near her orbital socket, NOLA.com has reported. Holiday and her husband Jrue discovered the tumor in late June after she began having headaches and went in for an MRI.
Holiday must wait until she delivers her child before doctors can operate on her brain tumor; according to the source, that means waiting at least until the end of September or early October, depending on whether they decide to induce a slightly early labor or not. In the meantime the tumor is pressing on a nerve, causing numbness on the right side of Holiday’s face.
