Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins revealed in the latest issue of People Magazine she has been battling a brain tumor for years. The former TLC member underwent a seven-hour surgeryto remove the tumor from her brain stem in 2006. According to T-Boz, it has since returned; she hid her condition during this year's filming of "Celebrity Apprentice" with Donald Trump because she did not want to focus on her. "I didn't want pity. I was there to help sick children. I won't let you feel sorry for me." T-Boz also has sickle cell anemia and competed on the reality show to raise funds and awareness for the Sickle Cell Foundation of Georgia.

ReplyDeleteHow horrible! I hope she is ok. I never would have known she had a brain tumor.
ReplyDeleteThe women in that group have been through so much. I commend her for not seeking out the spotlight and just taking care of herself and her health at that time.
