“After the flight, Penny felt so sick that she needed to see a doctor,” a source told the National Enquirer.

“She was vomiting and thought it might be the flu. “But she got the shock of her life when the doctors told her she had a tumor on both her brain and her liver.

“Doctors told her they needed to schedule her for surgery and that they’d need to take a biopsy to determine if she had cancer.”
