(USA TODAY) Scott Baio is asking for your thoughts and prayers.
The actor, 54, reveals on Facebook that his wife, Renee Baio, has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
He told his followers:
"Just a few days ago we learned my wife, Renee has a meningioma brain tumor. 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.
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. During this time we ask for your prayers and support. 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 6500 people each year, mostly women get these tumors."
The Happy Days actor and his wife have been married for seven years, and the couple have a daughter, 7-year-old Bailey DeLuca.
After sharing his news, Baio turned to Twitter to thank his fans for their support and well wishes:
