Busy Philipps Says Latest Scan Is ‘Clean’ Nearly 8 Months After Brain Tumor Diagnosis

Busy Philipps is sharing a major health update. The actress revealed that her latest scan was “clean,” nearly eight months after she was diagnosed with a rare malignant brain tumor. She spoke with People at the NYC premiere of her new CBS legal drama Cupertino on Wednesday, saying she had talked with her oncologist earlier that day.

The Busy Philipps brain tumor update came with her signature humor. Philipps joked that her doctor was more interested in talking about the show than her health. “She was like, ‘I want to talk about Cupertino,'” Philipps recalled. “I was like, ‘Okay, but also, am I good?’ And she was like, ‘Yeah, you’re good.'” Philipps was diagnosed with the tumor earlier this year and has been candid about her treatment and recovery.

She has been promoting Cupertino, which premieres on CBS this fall. Philipps has spoken openly about balancing her health journey with her career, saying she’s grateful for the support she’s received. She did not announce any further treatment plans or a timeline for future scans. Her representatives have not commented further. She remains focused on her recovery and her new role.
