Reporter Victoria Price recovers from thyroid cancer, courtesy a viewer
A miracle has happened with TV reporter Victoria Price. She has gotten rid of thyroid cancer in its early stages after an alert viewer pointed a lump on her neck and requested her to get it checked. She had mailed Price and it was only because of that alarm that the Florida journalist claims to be "90% back to normal" now. Here's more.
How did Price get to know about her cancer?
Price, a reporter working for WFLA News Channel 8, had tweeted on July 24 to share the shocking revelation that happened only because of a viewer, who on Instagram spotted the lump on her throat and mailed her. Price couldn't spot it on her own and was about to disregard the mail when she informed her boyfriend, who insisted on a doctor's visit.
She thanked this 'wonderful viewer for bringing it to attention'
Surgery was the only option left for Price
Upon diagnosis, the investigative reporter was told that a cancerous tumor is pushing her thyroid to create this lump. Even her lymph nodes were affected by cancer and surgery was the only way to get it out of the system before it triggers any kind of fatality. Price then underwent surgery the next Monday and is now recovering at a fast rate, reports say.
Price thanks this 'guardian angel' for saving her
Quoting her trademark news tag line of "8 on your side," Price thanked the anonymous viewer for being by her side when she was neck-deep in recurring shifts to cover the pandemic crises and was thus, negligent of her own health. WTVT reporter Haley Hinds called the viewer a "guardian angel" for saving Price with keen observation and unconditional loyalty.
Like Price, another host also learned it from her viewer
Like Price, Inside Edition host Deborah Norville also learned of her thyroid nodule lump after a viewer spotted it in 2019 and got it operated. Thyroid cancer happens because of abnormal multiplication of thyroid cells that create a tumor. It may be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors One of the most curable cancers, it can easily be cured with surgeries.
