A “golf ball” in the Brain – NO, you DIDN’T MISHEAR – A harsh reality struck Fox News anchor Shannon Bream in a journey that brought millions to Tears!
Shannon Bream has experienced plenty of tragedy with her husband. One of the most intense trials they had to overcome came before they were even married. When she and her husband, Sheldon Bream, were engaged, the two learned some harrowing news: Sheldon had a bra1n t:u:m0r. Shannon was just 24 years old at the time, finishing up law school and planning to get married. The tumor in Sheldon’s brain was the size of a golf ball, and he had to undergo surgery to treat it. “It just kind of threw our whole world into a tailspin,” Shannon said in an interview for Fox News.
While the surgery was successful (doctors removed Sheldon’s tumor, which was benign) it left Sheldon with some facial p2ralys1s and a difficult road ahead. “We went on about our lives and he would be honest to tell you he was really going through a d3pr3ssion. It was tough recovery,” Shannon said of her husband. Sheldon improved, though, and one day, while eating at Pizza Hut, the news anchor noticed that the corner of her husband’s mouth moved, giving them both hope that he would regain total control of his muscles. “From there, he slowly began to recover. And it still took a while. But thank God he’s good. No more return of that,” Shannon said of that day at the restaurant. After that scare, Shannon and Sheldon eventually got married, and the two celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary at the end of 2024.
