Earlier in 2012, Brooke broke down upon discovering a noticeable lump on her thyroid which turned out to be cancerous. Brooke said “I had no symptoms. It was crazy. Not one. Never felt better”, as the lump was discovered during routine physical.
The diagnosis was quite a shock for then-41-year-old Brooke Burke. Following her surgery to remove all the cancerous lump, she advised & shares her life-changing experience, saying “Care for yourself, especially as you get into your 40s. Always get your annual physical & mammograms”.
She added “Physically I feel better today than I did in my thirties. I fell like there is a number of reasons: I know myself better. I have boundaries, louder voices & I know myself as woman”.Here is an interview where Brooke gets real about her cancer and thyroid diagnosis.
