Brooke Burke-Charvet is recovering and doing well following thyroid surgery yesterday to remove a potentially cancerous nodule.?
?
"I'm resting, recovering," she tweeted this morning (Dec. 6),. "Surgery went well. Dr Adashek is a genius. Thx Dr! Feels like I got hit [by] a car :("?
?
The 41-year-old co-host of the popular reality competition series "Dancing with the Stars," revealed last month her cancer battle - saying she was floored to receive the bad news, but optimistic going into her surgery.??
"I've booked my surgery," she said. "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."
?
On Twitter, Burke-Chavret went on to reveal that one of her biggest fears - losing her voice - never came to pass.??
"Thank God it's over," she wrote. "I'm clean, surgery went well & I can talk. Losing My voice was my biggest fear. Thx for all your prayers & light."
?
It's expected that the Burke-Carvet will be taking it easy for the next two weeks - but until then, she's leaning on her incredibly supportive friends and family.?
?
"What I'm learning how to do now is say yes more than I say no," she wrote in blog post yesterday. "I know I've written about that concept before but now I find myself truly in a place of need and a little bit out of control knowing that I have to put my condition in someone else's hand, and that I'm actually going to have to step down and let other people step up. Knowing that I have such a supportive village around me is really comforting - more than I ever would have imagined."?
She also today tweeted love to her supporters and thanked her fans.?"so much love coming my way today via social media. Thank you 2 all my friends and supporters, I FEEL you! I'm online, thats a good sign :)"
