The scars of Maria Menounos they make her “smile”. Two months after revealing her battle with cancer, the presenter “uploaded” a photo on social media wearing a bikini and showed us the “marks” from the surgery.

“I look back at the surgery and am thankful for the strength God blessed me with to make it through and of course all the beautiful people He sent to help me too!” the 45-year-old captioned her post.

As expected, her fans “deified” her and wished her always healthy. “I’m glad you ‘wear’ your battle scars proudly, as I do. You are beautiful,” wrote one of her fans.

Menounos – who is currently expecting her first child via surrogate – said her tumor had grown significantly larger since she was first diagnosed last November.
