Atlanta Anchor to Have Brain Surgery Today

Some sad news out of The A-T-L….

Just before going on-air Monday, WSB Anchor Jovita Moore told her co-Anchor Justin Farmer that she wasn’t feeling great.

“I was really concerned about why all of a sudden I was forgetful, disoriented and just not feeling myself. Feeling like I was in a fog and really wanting to get out of that fog,” Moore said.

Later that evening as she walked through the grocery store parking lot, she realized it was more than just not feeling well.

“It was a blessing in disguise that I almost passed out walking into Publix,” Moore said. “I was walking. I remember walking across the parking lot and feeling like I wasn’t going to make it to the door. I was almost like walking in quicksand.”

A scan of her brain revealed two small masses.

“It’s significant. It’s gonna be a lot. Two little tumors kind of near each other and they got to go,” Moore said. “We had to start then having a conversation about what that was and what that meant.”

Her neurosurgeon Dr. Edjah Nduom said the prognosis is still unclear and he and his team are crafting a plan of action. They will know a lot more after Today’s surgery.

“Quite honestly we still don’t know yet,” Nduom said. “I can tell you Jovita is upbeat, optimistic and feels surrounded by love. All of those things feed into someone being in a good place to recover. People who are functioning very well at a time they’re faced with this tend to do better.”

“I think it’s gonna be home for a few weeks at least after surgery. Not sure when I’ll be back on air but when I’m able, I will be,” Moore said.

We here at FTVLive wish her a speedy recovery.
