RHOSLC Star Bronwyn Newport’s Mom Diagnosed With Brain Tumor – E! Online
‘RHOSLC’ Star Lisa Barlow Slams Whitney Rose: “She’s Blocked on My Phone” (Exclusive)
Bronwyn Newport is keeping family close after a heartbreaking diagnosis.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star spent Christmas in the hospital after doctors discovered a tumor in the back of her mom’s skull days before the holiday.
“I hope everyone that celebrates had a very merry Christmas,” Bronwyn began on Instagram Stories Dec. 26. “A month ago my dad (who has Alzheimer’s) fell and broke his pelvis. It put an incredible strain on my mom, who has, for almost ten years insisted on being his sole caretaker.”
The 39-year-old said she knew something was amiss when her mother started “struggling to manage” day-to-day duties and “kept getting more exhausted and frail.”
“My mom had similar dizzy, confused and exhausted symptoms almost 30 years ago when she had a brain tumor,” Bronwyn continued, explaining how she flew to California on a particularly “frail day” for her parent. “I went straight there from the airport and we received the bad news I was both expecting and not.”
