## Caption

Busy Philipps has revealed she discovered she had a rare brain tumour just one day after the death of her Dawson’s Creek co-star James Van Der Beek. The actress, 47, had been due to undergo a full-body MRI but considered canceling the appointment as she grieved Van Der Beek, who died from colon cancer. She went ahead with the scan after encouragement from her ex-husband Marc Silverstein, who told her it was something James would have wanted her to do. The scan detected a 2.6cm tumour despite Philipps having no obvious symptoms, leading to surgery in March. 📷 Borkowski/BFA.com/Shutte​rstock, Getty, Instagram/busyphilipps #busyphilipps #celebrity #jamesvanderbeek #dawsonscreek
