American actress and fashion model Brooke Burke admitted that she is preparing for an operation to remove cancerous nodules on the thyroid gland. Yesterday, on her ModernMom blog, she posted a video where she told fans that she was “ready to fight” the disease.
41-year-old Brooke for a long time postponed a visit to the doctor - for the whole eight months.
“I'm going to be a good patient and will do what I have to do,” promised the winner of the seventh season of the American show “Dancing with the Stars.”
The mother of four children added that she was determined to defeat the disease. “Now everything is fine, and I am ready to deal with it, and I will be fine. I feel very, very strong. Doctors say this is a "good sign."
Brooke also said that she had to go through a lot of tests and studies to determine which nodes were cancerous or benign. "I will have a huge scar, right here on my neck."
"I never, never, never thought that I would one day get a phone call with bad news."
“Why didn't I get tested eight months ago when my therapist told me about this?” I was too busy. Today I understand that it was irresponsible, stupid and just an excuse.
Perhaps, after such words of the actress, someone will think about their health more than he does now ...
