Maria Menounos announced on Monday that is stepping down as co-anchor of E! News after she was diagnosed with a brain tumor.<br /><br /> She has held the position since 2015 after joining the network in 2014.<br /><br /> In an interview with People magazine, Menounos said that she underwent surgery last month to remove a golf-ball-sized tumor discovered in February. While the neurosurgeon was able to remove 99.9 percent of the tumor, which was benign, she was told there’s a six to seven percent chance it will return. Menounos says her face is still numb from the operation, but she is expected to make a full recovery within a month. Menounos is also caring for her mother, who has stage-four brain cancer.
