'Dancing With the Stars' Alum Samantha Harris Undergoing Double Mastectomy

Samantha Harris, the former Dancing with the Stars co-host from Seasons 2-9 and current Entertainment Tonight correspondent recently revealed that she has breast cancer. As a result, she will undergo a double mastectomy on April 9.

Harris left the dancing reality competition show way back in 2010.

"The realization sort of overtook me, my eyes started to well up from tears when I was trying to keep myself calm because I thought the most important thing --- was that I needed to focus and listen to what they were saying," Harris revealed of the recent diagnosis.

"I went back for the results of the pathology and I was by myself because there was nothing to worry about or so I thought."

She continued, "It's not like in the movies where they sit you down across a table in their office and say, 'Well, you have cancer.' It was these wonderful surgeons [who] started drawing diagrams and talking as I was on the exam table listening to what they were saying, it dawned on me without them coming right out to say it."

"My daughters are three and six. All they're concerned about is to have mommy active, [to] be able to hold them, hug them, kiss them, be there, be present for everything," she painfully admitted. "No matter how positive of a diagnosis as I have, it doesn't keep the demons of fear from taking over your mind and your thought process and thinking about the girls and thinking about [how] my dad wasn't able to walk me down the aisle."

She concluded, "I will be here to plan my daughters weddings and they better like the dress I pick."

Harris would go on to thank fans for their support on Twitter, writing:
