Davina explained that she was diagnosed by chance after signing up for a ‘health scan’.
Davina said in a video: ‘I was offered a health scan which I thought I would pass, but it turned out I had a benign brain tumor, which is very rare, three in a million.
‘I buried my head in the sand for a while, saw a few neurosurgeons, had quite a few opinions and realized I had to get them out.
‘It’s quite big, 14mm wide and needs to come out because if it grows it would be bad. I’ll have it removed.’
She added, “Say a prayer for me. I’m in a good mood.’
Davina explained that although she was not at immediate risk, doctors were concerned that the tumor could grow larger and cause complications.
