Actress Busy Philipps says she is sharing the results of an MRI scan taken six months after undergoing surgery to remove a brain tumor. She reports that the follow-up scan comes after treatment for a rare type of tumor.
Philipps was diagnosed in February with a grade 2 oligodendroglioma, according to the outlets. Both accounts say she underwent a full-body MRI scan around the time of the diagnosis. The articles also note that the MRI happened the day after the death of her co-star James Van Der Beek.
The two sources provided cover the same core timeline and details, with no clear differences in interpretation or emphasis beyond repetition of the same circumstances. Neither report adds new medical findings beyond confirming the diagnosis, the surgery, and the existence of the six-month MRI follow-up.
