00:00 Little House on the Prairie actress Wendy Lou Lee was plagued by headaches and dizziness
00:05 for weeks before finally getting a diagnosis.

00:21 out on August 13th.
00:22 In 2015, she noticed the first signs of the tumor.
00:25 "I started to think maybe I was going a little crazy," the 46-year-old told Fox News,
00:29 as no doctor had a reason for the headache.
