As model and "Dancing with the Stars" cohost Brooke Burke prepared to undergo surgery for thyroid cancer Wednesday, she tried to focus on her family and healing. On Nov. 8, Burke first revealed she had been diagnosed with thyroid cancer and planned to have a thyroidectomy. "I’ve booked my surgery," she said in a YouTube video. "It’s taken me a couple of months to really wrap my head around this … Now I’m good. I’m ready to deal with it, and I’m going to be fine. I feel really, really strong. Doctors say this is a ‘good’ kind of cancer to have … My doctor did tell me this is a happily ever after ending kind of thing."
