Scott Baio shares unhappy news about wife's health

Scott Baio has shared some tragic news regarding his wife’s health and is asking his fans to pray for her.

Baio announced this week on Facebook that his wife, Renee Baio, 42, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Baio of Charles in Charge and Happy Days fame pleaded with his fans to show her support by sending their prayers her way.

The news was revealed on Tuesday, June 16, on his Facebook.

"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." Baio continued, "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," he adds. "During this time we ask for your prayers and support." He goes on to state, "My wife is my rock. She refuses to even shed one tear, nor will she question God's will. 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."

This tumor is usually not a cancerous brain tumor, but it can cause serious health complications. Treatments can include chemotherapy, radiation therapy or surgery.

The couple have been married for seven years sharing an adorable 7-year-old daughter named Bailey.
