"This is a first for me today," she said. "I've been scarf-ing it up. But you know what, it's fresh. It's a month old, and I think scars tell a story. And I'm so fortunate.
"I'm one of the lucky ones," she continued. "It was shocking. I never thought I would hear the word cancer in relation to myself."
Brooke Burke reveals she's cancer-free
Seven days after undergoing thyroid cancer surgery, Burke learned that her cancer had been removed from her body and she was cancer-free. Burke has been very candid throughout the ordeal, and her recovery is no exception. The mother of four has shared how she's progressing on Twitter, a process which currently consists of marathoning Homeland and eating old Halloween candy.
"The message really is about preventative health because I had no symptoms," she says. "And generally, thyroid cancer is very subtle symptoms. I went for a regular physical."
