Kelly Stafford, the wife of Detroit Lions Quarterback Matthew Stafford, announced Wednesday on Instagram that she has a benign brain tumor called an acoustic neuroma.

She wrote that she noticed she was feeling dizzy and off-balance for a while. Recurring bouts of vertigo started in January and led her to seek an MRI of the brain. A couple weeks later, doctors confirmed the tumor.
