Tyler Henry is sharing a health update after undergoing brain surgery.
On Wednesday, May 14, the Hollywood Medium star, 29, revealed on Instagram that he’d been diagnosed with a colloid tumor near the center of his brain, which had required surgery to remove it.
Henry shared a photo of himself smiling in a hospital bed, writing in the caption, “Brain surgery was a success! Great prognosis, incredible staff, and I feel so thankful to be surrounded by my family. I’ll be on bedrest for a month and look forward to getting back to doing readings,” he said, adding that he was “on the mend.”
“For those curious, I had a colloid tumor near the center of my brain and thankfully most of it has been removed! (The tumor, not my brain… that is. 🤣),” Henry joked.
He wrote, “This isn’t my first rodeo with this and I have so much to be thankful for – I’ll see ya’ll very soon with lots of thought-provoking subjects and of course, readings,” telling followers, “Thank you all so much for your support.”
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), “Colloid brain cysts are benign [non cancerous], slow-growing lesions typically found in the brain’s third ventricle,” that contain “gelatinous material composed of mucin, old blood, cholesterol, and ions—and often present diagnostic and management challenges.”
This isn’t the first time Henry has undergone brain surgery. In an August 2023 Instagram post, the renowned clairvoyant opened up about undergoing an operation shortly after his 18th birthday when “an MRI [scan] revealed a congenital brain cyst that [led] to emergency surgery after weeks of headaches.”
“A mass I was born with was only now causing a life-threatening situation as my adult life was just beginning,” he captioned a photo taken a month after his milestone birthday, explaining that a doctor had discovered the cyst a week after the image was taken.
In a September 2014 Facebook post, Henry revealed that his “brain was swelling in its own fluids, obstructed by an arachnoid brain cyst that I had been born with” before he underwent emergency surgery “to aspirate the benign cyst in my brain so that fluid could flow freely and the swelling would reduce.”
According to the Cleveland Clinic, “Arachnoid cysts are fluid-filled sacs that grow on the brain and spine. They are not tumors, and they are not cancerous. On rare occasions, if they grow too big or press on other structures in the body, they can cause brain damage or movement problems.”
