Brooke Burke-Charvet, the "Dancing with the Stars" co-host, said on Thursday she has thyroid cancer via a video message she posted on YouTube disclosing her condition and her plans for surgery to remove her thyroid.
"I'm feeling the love today from friends, family, #DWTS, tweeties, fans. You warm my heart. I'm feeling good Thank you from down deep xoxo," she tweeted.
The 41-year-old mother of four says a lump on her thyroid was found during a biopsy. Although the illness has thrown her for a loop, the TV personality said she's "going to make a positive out of this negative thing."
She says in the video that the surgery has been scheduled, but she doesn't specify when. She says it will leave "a nice big scar right here," tracing a line across her throat.
On Friday, Brooke tweeted, "Morning. Wow, some news coverage yesterday. I'm feeling good. The C word sounds worse & scarier than it really feels."
