Actress Busy Philipps has revealed that she underwent two surgeries to remove a rare, malignant brain tumor. The diagnosis came after she underwent a precautionary full-body MRI scan to check for more than 500 conditions, an appointment she nearly cancelled after the death of her friend and former 'Dawson’s Creek' co-star James Van Der Beek the day before.
The health crisis occurred just weeks before Philipps was scheduled to begin filming her new CBS television show titled "Cupertino." Reflecting on the ordeal, the actress told People magazine, "I’m grateful that I’m alive."
