Just last week, McHenry broke the news to people on social media, not because she wanted to, but as a result of the news getting out and people making their own speculations about what was going on.

"I was trying to keep this relatively private," she said in her Twitter post. "But as usual, things are being said without my consent. I have a brain tumor. I’m with an amazing medical team and surgery is imminent. Thank you for continued support and understanding at this time."
