Is Deborah Norville undergo surgery for a cancerous thyroid nodule?

Deborah Norville will undergo surgery to remove a cancerous thyroid nodule from her neck - and she's giving thanks to the eagle-eyed viewer who first spotted it. The "Inside Edition" host and former TODAY anchor revealed Monday that she and her doctor have been monitoring the lump ever since a viewer brought it to her attention some time ago.

"We live in a world of 'see something, say something,' and I'm really glad we do," Norville, 60, said in a video message to viewers.

"When you work on television, viewers comment on everything - your hair, your makeup, the dress you're wearing," she continued. "And, a long time ago, an 'Inside Edition' viewer reached out to say she'd seen something on my neck. It was a lump." Norville said she'd never noticed the lump, but had it checked out to be sure everything was OK. Her doctor told her it was a thyroid nodule and posed no harm.

"For years, it was nothing. Until recently it was something," she shared.

"The doctor says it's a very localized form of cancer, which tomorrow I'll have surgery to have removed. There will be no chemo, I'm told no radiation, but I will have surgery and I'll be away for a bit," she explained. Norville concluded her message by asking for viewers' support: "If you believe in prayer, please say one for me - and for my surgeon - and I thank you very much."

According to the American Cancer Society, about 52,070 people are diagnosed with thyroid cancer every year, with women nearly three times more likely to develop the disease as men. It's the most rapidly increasing cancer in the United States, where diagnoses have tripled in the past three decades, the American Cancer Society notes. Some attribute the increase to thyroid ultrasounds, which can detect small thyroid nodules that might have been overlooked in the past.

Though cases are on the rise, the death rate from thyroid cancer remains very low compared with most other cancers. The disease is often treated successfully with surgery, with patients able to leave the hospital within a day of operation.

• ‘WAGA-TV’ operated from Atlanta, and Deborah was offered a summer internship there. They were short of reporters. Thus, Deborah got her first big break as a reporter. She reported for an evening show the day she was offered the position of a reporter. Soon, she was hired as a full-time weekend reporter. She had still not graduated and was in the final year of her college back then.
