Bream was in his early 20s when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Shannon revealed it back in January 2020 on Fox Nation’s Ride to Work. “It was a complete shocker,” said Shannon. She added,
“He was a college athlete, very healthy and strong and he’d had an ear problem – like a ringing in his ear – for a long time.”
Shannon continued saying:
“They treated him for everything, ear infections, all kinds of stuff, and they said ‘Well, we need to rule one thing out. It’s a longshot.’ But the test came back and they said ‘You’ve got a brain tumor. It’s about the size of a golf ball and it’s got to come out.”
Sheldon was reportedly 24 at the time, probably around 1994. At the time, Sheldon and Shannon were engaged to be married. Besides, he had just lost his father around the time of his diagnosis.
His Recovery
After the diagnosis, Sheldon underwent 9-hour-long surgery to get his tumor removed. Although the surgery was carried out successfully, the procedure brought several complications and ultimately Sheldon ended up with severe paralysis.
The tough conditions led Sheldon to go through a depression. But, months after the surgery, a miracle happened when the pair were at a Pizza Hut for a lunch buffet and everything changed thereafter.
“A month before we’re supposed to get married and I thought I saw the corner of his mouth move,” Shannon recalled the moment. She further reminisced that doctors had told them they’d notice Sheldon’s mouth move first if he ever start to regain control over his facial muscles.
Sheldon and his now-wife were overjoyed to experience the change and as the former started biting, chewing, and trying to talk, the pair jumped up in Pizza Hut and started crying. Shannon said,
“People think we’re nuts and we do not care at all. From there, he slowly began to recover. And it still took a while. But thank God he’s good. No more return of that.”
