Brooke Burke Cancer- The former "Dancing with the Stars" co-host has returned stronger than ever since conquering her illness.
"It's crazy that not long ago I had cancer and now I'm cancer-free, and that might not be the case if I hadn't gone for a checkup," Brooke Burke , 42, told Shape magazine in an interview for its September issue. "Now I feel like I'm beginning the best part of my life."
Brook Burke's cancer was discovered by the actress in late 2012, and even announced her thyroid malady during an episode of DWTS. According to her, the thyroid cancer was detected during a routine physical examination, despite the fact that she had already seen a Hashimotos' disease - the most common cause of hypothyroidism - specialist for more than ten years.
"The condition wasn't even diagnosed by a thyroid doctor but during a regular checkup," Brooke Burke said of her cancer. "They found a questionable lump. Then I got an ultra-sound and biopsies, and sure enough, it was cancer. But the prognosis was great."
Brooke Burke's cancer was eliminated after she underwent thyroidectomy; now she is said to be free of the illness.
"They took it out, it's gone, and it's all good," television personality said.
