The 47-year-old actress revealed that she has just undergone her six-month MRI following surgery to remove the tumour earlier this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Busy Philipps has given an update on her health, following a six-month MRI after surgery to remove a rare brain tumour. \u00a0Instagram\/@busyphilipps<\/p>\n

\u201cGuys, I got my six-month scan, MRI, and it was no sign of the tumour,\u201d she said in a video shared on Instagram<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In her video she explained that while there were \u201cno signs of tumour progression\u201d the MRI did uncover a different health concern.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201c…I do have a sinus infection in my left sphenoid sinus, which also makes sense because my eye has been red, my left eye, for the past week, and if you are somebody who has followed me for a really long time, you know those sinuses, honey, they have been out to get me since day one!\u201d she continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Philipps explained she was \u201cgoing to the sinus doctor tomorrow morning to see what we gotta do\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The actress added that she underwent surgery on her sinus in 2018, and she may need to do an \u201canti-inflammation cleanse again\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut yeah, this is not great. It\u2019s painful, it looks painful, and it is painful. I thought it was eczema,\u201d she continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what the hell is going on\u2026 But no tumour, so I guess I\u2019ll take a sinus infection over a brain tumour, any day!\u201d<\/p>\n

The star captioned the post, \u201c6 month MRI done! NO signs of tumour progression! but apparently a clear sign of sinus infection \ud83e\udee4!! well\u2026i guess i\u2019ll take it!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In August Philipps revealed that she had undergone two surgeries after doctors found a rare brain tumour in February following a full-body MRI.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Philipps told People she was \u201chyperventilating and trying to breathe\u201d when she got the news that there was a tumour. <\/p>\n

She recalled feeling \u201creally scared\u201d to have the hard talk with her daughters, Birdie, 17, and Cricket, 13, who she shares with her ex-husband.<\/p>\n

She \u201cpromised\u201d them their mum wasn\u2019t going to die.<\/p>\n

The Dawson\u2019s Creek star underwent two surgeries for the rare brain tumour earlier this year. \u00a0Instagram\/@liviyakraemer<\/p>\n

The first surgery was in March and because the scan caught the tumour early, doctors were able to fully remove it and she did not require chemotherapy or radiation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She did require a second surgery in April, after the incision site got infected.<\/p>\n

She will require regular scans to monitor for an unlikely recurrence of the tumour, but so far appears to be in the clear after it was caught early. <\/p>\n
