On “The Big Impact,” Brooke Burns revealed that she was diagnosed with cervical cancer at a young age. While she was lucky to survive the disease, she was told that she would be unable to have children. This was hard to hear, as she had always looked forward to becoming a mother. “I thought I would have six kids,” she said. According to a post on her Instagram page, Burns was 18 when a doctor dashed this dream. She didn’t elaborate on the reason why she was told that motherhood was an impossibility for her, but according to the American Cancer Society, cancer treatments, including radiation therapy and chemotherapy, can cause infertility. Scarring caused by surgery to remove cancerous tissue from reproductive organs can also make it difficult or impossible to get pregnant.
Whatever treatment Burns had, it turned out that she wasn’t actually infertile. When the “Gourmet Detective” star was 22 years old, she and her husband at the time, “Nip/Tuck” actor Julian McMahon, welcomed their daughter Madison. “Madison means ‘Gift from God.’ She was my miracle baby,” Burns said in an interview with The Adams Group Public Relations.
