Scott Baio Reveals Wife Renee Baio Has a Brain Tumor and Asks for Prayers: "My Wife Is My Rock"

"She refuses to even shed one tear, nor will she question God's will," the Charles in Charge and Happy Days alum said

Scott Baio says his wife Renee Baio has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and is asking for prayers and support from fans.

The 54-year-old Charles in Charge and Happy Days alum and See Dad Run star and Renee, 42 and the mother of their 7-year-old daughter Bailey, learned the news recently. In a Facebook post published this week, Scott said they still don't know yet if doctors will be able to remove the growth surgically.

"Just a few days ago we learned my wife, Renee has a meningioma brain tumor," he wrote. "Although 90% of these type of tumors are benign they can cause serious problems depending on the size of the tumor and the location. We are waiting to learn the exact location to see if its operable."

Meningiomas are among the most common types of brain tumors, occur most often between ages 40 and 70 and are usually noncancerous, but can still cause serious health complications and even death depending on their size or location, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Treatment can involve surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

"Renee has been down some rough roads in her life, yet each time with her strong faith in God, she comes through a better and stronger person," Scott continued. "During this time we ask for your prayers and support."

"My wife is my rock. She refuses to even shed one tear, nor will she question God's will," he added. "Renee, Bailey and I will get through this and along the way maybe help educate others to get checked out (MRI with contrast) as 6,500 people each year, mostly women get these tumors."

About 6,500 people are diagnosed with meningioma brain tumors each year in the United States, according to the UCLA Health website. Rocker Sheryl Crow, now 53, was diagnosed with one in 2012. Signs and symptoms include vision changes, headaches that worsen with time, loss of hearing memory or smell, seizures and weakness of limbs, according to the Mayo Clinic.

The Baios wed in 2007 and welcomed Bailey less than two months later. After she was born, they say she was falsely diagnosed at birth with a metabolic disorder called GA-1. The couple later founded the Bailey Baio Angel Foundation, a non-profit for special needs children affected by metabolic disorders.

On Wednesday, Baio quoted Renee as saying, "Thanks 4 the well wishes. A meningioma brain tumor is just a small bump in the road compared to the trials & tribulations my spec needs kids live."
