Maria was diagnosed with a brain tumor last February after suffering from dizziness, slurred speech and headaches.
On June 8 - her 39th birthday - she had surgery to remove the golf ball-sized malignancy.
Which came after the sad news of her mother being diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer.
The television personality explained afterwards that the experience was a blessing.
