Inside Edition anchor Deborah Norville is recovering after surgery

Inside Edition anchor Deborah Norville is recovering after surgery to remove a cancerous thyroid nodule from her neck - which was spotted by a viewer.

The 60-year-old host revealed in early April that, when the lump was first spotted years ago, it turned out to be benign. 

But recent tests revealed it had turned cancerous and she needed surgery for its removal. 

On Thursday, Norville posted a photo on Instagram of her sat on the sofa with a Band Aid on her beck, a tall glass of water, and a pile of books to get through during her recovery - including the biography of 'Queen of the Desert' Gertrude Bell, and 'Kushner, Inc: Greed. Ambition. Corruption'. 

In another, she had a visit from her dog, Piper.  

'One week ago, I was scared to death anticipating thyroid cancer surgery,' Norville wrote. 'But thanks to a skilled doctor and medical staff followed up by an incredibly touching outpouring from people from all over, I am feeling stronger every day.'
