Menounos, whose mother is battling Stage-4 Brain Cancer, released the following statement in the article:

“I just want to be still for a bit and see what I’m supposed to be in this world,” Maria told the magazine, on stands this week. “For me, sharing this story is important on so many levels. I hate secrets. I also want to help women realize that they have to put themselves first. I wouldn’t have ever known or imagined that this was going on if I hadn’t seen the symptoms in my mom. I want to encourage people to find some stillness in their life so they can listen to their bodies — and hear what’s going on.”

She would then post the following on her Instagram account, expressing her fondness for her fans and thanking them for their kind words:
