— Former WWE star Maria Kanellis-Bennett has been dealing with a health issue for months now after doctors found a mass on her adrenal gland that led to multiple tests to determine whether it was cancerous. Kanellis took to social media today to share that tests have revealed that the mass is on the gland was determined to be a rare tumor called a pheochromocytoma, but that it is not malignant (non-cancerous). She wrote:
“I wanted to give you guys an update. I know it’s been a little bit, it took a while for the pathology to get back. But I wanted to let you guys know that I am cancer-free,” she said. “The tumor was not cancerous. We are so incredibly grateful and thankful to be moving into this holiday season cancer-free and to not have that worry.
“Thank you so much for all of the well-wishes and the prayers. It did turn out to be a pheochromocytoma, which is an incredibly rare tumor. Only 3 to 8 people get it out of a million. It’s just a weird thing that happened. It affects your mood, it affects your metabolism, it affects your blood pressure, your heart rate. So we are very, very blessed to have found it as early as we did, because it really can start causing problems in your body. So thank you so much. And I am looking forward and I’m really, really hopeful about the future.”
