It's true: nobody goes through life expecting to get cancer.

Especially when you're a healthy, beautiful woman like Brooke Burke. That's why her diagnosis of Thyroid Cancer was so devastatingly scary for her. Now, she has an inch-long scar at the base of her throat.

But guess what?

She's still alive, beautiful, and the wonderful person she's always been.

Here's what she had to say about her experience:

Brooke Burke has been through so much recently!

And she's stayed strong through it all!

We previously mentioned that she needed to have thyroid surgery for her cancer.

We were also super happy to mention that she got the all clear and is now cancer free!

While on Good Morning America recently she said:

What a fab sighting!!

Brooke Burke isn't letting thyroid surgery hold her back — she was spotted out with her husband David Charvet getting New Year's Eve supplies!

We're bummed by this, but we're going to assume that the scarf has less to do with how cold it is and how invasive her surgery was. We can understand why she's wearing it, for sure, but we also want her to know that she's still so beautiful, and nobody would ever dare to pick on her for it.

We're just glad she's okay!

Hope your NYE is gonna be a blast, Brooke!

Brooke Burke is one lucky lady!

It feels like we literally just mentioned that she had thyroid cancer.

She had surgery to remove her thyroid, hoping to remove all the cancer.

We're now surprised and glad to say she is already cancer free!!

She said:

We previously mentioned that Brooke Burke was recently diagnosed with thyroid cancer.

Luckily, her specific type of cancer has a high rate of survival when properly treated.

Well we're glad to say that she had her surgery yesterday and is recovering. Yay!

She said:

Last month, Brooke Burke took it upon herself to announce that she has Thyroid Cancer, and while the disease is frightening, she's keeping a smile on her face as she heads into surgery this week.

Earlier today, the Dancing With the Stars co-host took to her Facebook to thank her fans for all the support, she wrote:

Tom Bergeron is a long time friend and has been cohosts with Brooke Burke for a long time. They know each other well, and Tom seems like a genuinely wonderful person.

We are not surprised to hear (above) on The Talk that he was one of the first people to know that Brooke has thyroid cancer before she publicly revealed it today. He has known for a few months.

It's heartbreaking but uplifting to hear him talk about his love for her, and his positivity on the subject. His family has dealt with thyroid cancer before, apparently, so he knows that it's one of the most treatable forms you can get.

We'd rather her not have cancer at all, but if she has to have it, this is one of the kinds we're glad she has.

She is so strong and so beautiful — we know she'll pull through just fine.
