Sometimes You Just Never Know What People Are Going Through....

So T-Boz, who already has Sickle Cell Anemia, revealed that in 2006 she had a brain tumor removed, she went through this while she was taping "Celebrity Apprentice" and says she didn't share what she was going through because she was doing the show to help sick children. WOW!

I believe true character shows in courageous acts done when no one is watching........ She is obviously physically beautiful but to me her true beauty is in her strength...


News is spreading like wildfire about TLC singer T-Boz's revelation that she battled a brain tumor.

The 39-year-old Grammy Award winner told People magazine that she waged that battle in secret for three years.

In the Oct. 12 edition of the magazine, she revealed having a seven-hour surgical procedure back in 2006 during which doctors peeled the tumor away from the brain stem.

The divorced single mother of one said she was battling the tumor during her stint on Donald Trump's popular reality competition 'Celebrity Apprentice' but didn't want to make it known to the public. "I didn't want pity. I was there to help sick children."

On the most recent season of the series, which was won by comedienne Joan Rivers, T-Boz (born Tionne Watkins) competed to help raise funds for the Sickle Cell Foundation of Georgia. As a child, she was diagnosed with the lifelong blood disorder.

Named one of the "50 Most Beautiful People" by the magazine in 1994 and 2000, T-Boz said that people are "shocked" when she tells them the news, but added "I won't let you feel sorry for me."
