“I’ve come a very long way.”

Meadow Walker, the daughter of the late Paul Walker, is speaking out about a secret health battle.

On Thursday, the model took to Instagram to reveal that she previously had a tumor removed, saying she’s now feeling “blessed & grateful.” Meadow posted a photo of herself from two years ago, with the image appearing to have been taken at a medical center.

“2 years ago today. I’ve come a very long way,” she wrote in the caption. “Bye bye tumor. Blessed & grateful.”

The photo showed Meadow giving a thumbs up to the camera. In the shot, the 22-year-old can be seen wearing a blue medical hair cover, and with fiducials markers on her forehead and temple. According to Johns Hopkins, fiducials are “small stickers that look like white doughnuts” that are put in place before an MRI or CT scan to make a “3-D map” of the head, with the scan then providing a surgeon with a “series of reference points,” which “integrate navigation” during brain surgery.

Meadow’s fans and celebrity pals alike took to the comments section to react to the post. Among those who commented was her godfather, Vin Diesel, who sent a praying hands emoji.

Meadow’s post comes just a few weeks after she revealed on Instagram that she got married to her fiancé Louis Thornton-Allan.
