Did Witney Carson have cancer?

Witney Carson is a professional Latin ballroom dancer and choreographer from the United States. Whiney Carson  learned she had melanoma and underwent two surgeries to remove the cancer in 2014

Carson had an inch of skin removed from around a mole on her foot, as well as all of her lymph nodes in her left hip, due to the cancer’s “rapid spread.”

Whitney Carson hid her cancer diagnosis. “I think I was embarrassed only in the fact that I was an athlete and I was supposed to be encompassing everything healthy and fit,” she explained to People.

“I was supposed to be doing all the right things to be an athlete, and so it was embarrassing for me to be like, ‘Yes, I had, I was sick. I was literally sick. I wanted people to think I was perfectly healthy.”

Whitney Carson has since recovered and is back on the dancefloor performing.  Throughout her dance career, Carson has worked with dancers and choreographers such as Mia Michaels, Nappytabs, Travis Wall, Sonya Tayeh, Tyce Diorio, Mark Ballas, Derek Hough, and Stacey Tookey.
