Carolyn Clifford: Finally Back on WXYZ-TV After A Month Off

Carolyn's fans and colleagues were so excited to see her back in the channel.

Though she went on missing a while from the media, she did inform her viewers that she would remain absent for a short time because of her critical health condition.

She said,

"As most of you know, I returned to work a week ago after more than a month off recovering from surgery that a lot of women in this country face."

Clifford is a married woman and a mother of three kids, James Goss, Brooke Goss, and Airielle Goss. Speaking of the diagnosis, she explained that she knew she had fibroids but she was unaware of the fact that she had a tumor growing inside her.

Clifford really thought she was gaining weight but her health issue turned out to be a fibroid tumor.

"This is how it happened for me. Before my surgery, when I'd look at myself in pictures or on television, I had started to wonder why my belly was getting bigger. I thought after three kids and growing older it must be the middle age spread."

"I kept feeling sick to my stomach especially in the morning, I would have a headache which I rarely ever get and I was having trouble emptying my bladder."

As per research, a lot of women have fibroid tumors. About 30% of women face the issue by they reach the age of 35 and the case can increases to about 80% by age 50.

She informed her fans and viewers on 17 March that she would remain absent from the channel for a while.

Though she was out of her work she was not completely MIA. She frequently updated her about her health via social media. Dr. Nishan (Nick) Chobanian, the Department of Oncology and Gynecology head at St. John Providence performed the successful tumor surgery on 19th March 2018.

Carolyn husband Gregory F. Goss was always by her side during the crucial phase of her life.
