In her characteristic humorous style, she quipped, “And they’re both brain tumors,” while also referencing her ongoing battle with breast cancer that began earlier this year. “I ended up coming to the emergency room, and they found two tumors in my brain because she missed me. My cancer missed me,” she said.

At 41 years old, Helbig is remaining optimistic despite the difficult news. She shared that the tumors are operable, which brought her a sense of relief amid a time filled with uncertainty. “There was a moment in time where it wasn’t certain. Quite scary,” she reflected.
