Episode Details

Busy Philipps bravely opens up about surviving a brain tumor—discovered after months of feeling “like her brain was broken,” despite no classic symptoms. The grade two oligodendroglioma, surgically removed in March, was caught early thanks to her insistence on an MRI, even when doctors said it wasn’t needed. The diagnosis came just days after losing co-star James Van Der Beek to cancer, making the timing especially painful. Though she faced complications—including a staph infection requiring a second surgery—she’s staying strong, grateful for her recovery, her support system, and the chance to keep living.
