In her first televised interview since undergoing a seven-hour surgery to remove a golf-ball-sized meningioma brain tumor in June, former E! News anchor Maria Menounos opened up to NBC News' Megyn Kelly about her diagnosis and recovery.

"I think that this was a gift, because I needed to change my life," Menounos told Kelly in the exclusive interview that airs in full on Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly this Sunday. "I needed to change the way-I did everything."

In the interview, the 39-year-old TV host also spoke about her mother's ongoing battle with stage 4 brain cancer.

"I just hope that we can make her one of the long-term survivors," Menounos told Kelly. "Because I'm worried about her. Nobody ever wants to lose their mom."

Watch the full interview on NBC this Sunday, July 23 at 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT.
