Brooke Burke-Charvet, co-host of "Dancing With The Stars", is scheduled to undergo surgery this week for the removal of thyroid cancer, which she announced she was battling last month.
Brooke Burke-Charvet revealed last month that she is suffering from thyroid cancer in a video posted on her blog.
"I'm getting ready this week for my surgery and am planning on a speedy recovery. What a crazy time, but I am surrounded with love and support and that really makes a world of difference. Thank you for following me and for all your thoughts and prayers. I feel it, truly, and your energy outweighs my stress! From the bottom of my heart, thank you," she wrote on her Facebook page.
Brooke Burke-Charvet, 41, is a mother of four children and recently completed hosting duties on the first all-star season of Dancing with The Stars. Brooke is married to former Baywatch actor David Charvet.
"I am touched and appreciative to all of you for sharing your positive wishes for my surgery, and for sharing many of your personal thyroid experiences. I really do read your comments and they all mean a lot to me. I'm getting ready this week for my surgery and am planning on a speedy recovery."
"I need to have a thyroidectomy," Brooke told her fans in a video blog in November. "I'm going to have a nice big scar across my neck."
Brooke Burke-Charvet will be posting new blogs on ModernMom.com about how she and her family are dealing with her cancer diagnosis. She wrote: 'I will tell you how my kids and family have been coping and suggestions for what people can do if you or anyone you know is battling cancer - how to make it an easier process.'
