Fox Nation host Britt McHenry said Thursday she is getting treatment for a brain tumor.

“I was trying to keep this relatively private. But as usual, things are being said without my consent,” McHenry tweeted Thursday.

“I have a brain tumor. I’m with an amazing medical team and surgery is imminent. Thank you for continued support and understanding at this time,” she said.

McHenry, 33, tweeted Monday that she would be getting her first MRI for her neck and brain the next day.

She followed up with a tweet that she received “good & bad news” and urged her followers to get an MRI early.

“Please I can’t stress enough, make your check-ups. Get an MRI early. It could have saved me,” she said.

Meghan McCain, host of ABC’s “The View” and daughter of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), sent her “love and strength” to McHenry after her announcement.
