MICHELLE Elman has revealed she’s undergoing brain surgery after a scan revealed a new cyst.
Life coach Michelle, 32 – who is one This Morning’s experts – shared the news on social media and told followers she plans to have the operation next year.
In a post shared on her Instagram story, she said: “Yesterday I found out I need another brain surgery.
“I have a cyst in my brain again and also the magnet in my brain needs replacing.”
Michelle lives with hydrocephalus, where fluid builds up on the brain causing dangerous pressure that can be fatal if untreated.
She has a metal magnet which is used to control the flow of the fluid.
Continuing to discuss her latest medical setback, Michelle said: “It’s not urgent but it is needed so now I have to figure out when to schedule this so it disrupts my life as little as possible.
“Inevitably I will have to pause my life and go deal with this, likelihood it will be next year, but until then it’s business as usual.”
Michelle previously told how in her life she’s had 15 surgeries, a brain tumour, a punctured intestine and obstructed bowels.
It comes after Michelle revealed live on This Morning that she was engaged for just 24 hours after discovering her fiance had cheating.
Sitting down with Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, Michelle told how her boyfriend of three years had proposed and just hours later a woman got in touch to drop the bomb about his infidelity.
She said: “He was with me when I got the first message saying ‘Is this person your fiance?’
“I thought it was a colleague, like this person knows you, and it took a while to figure out. My first reaction was shock.
“I was shaking and I kept saying, ‘Please tell me first I don’t want to find out from her’.”
What is hydrocephalus?
Hydrocephalus is a build-up of fluid in the brain. The excess fluid puts pressure on the brain, which can damage it.
If left untreated, hydrocephalus can be fatal.
The damage to the brain from hydrocephalus can cause a wide range of symptoms, including:
- headache
- being sick
- blurred vision
- difficulty walking
