"Former Dancing with the Stars host Samantha Harris has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Harris told People that she will soon undergo a double mastectomy in order to overcome the disease.  Harris explained to the magazine that she had an extended period of ill health last fall leading up to her diagnosis. She was soon informed by her doctors that she had cancer, and decided that to have a double mastectomy was the best option. &amp;quot;I was sick of feeling the way that I did in the days after the diagnosis,&amp;quot; Harris said. &amp;quot;I knew I needed to take control.&amp;quot; The star added that reaching the decision to have surgery has led her to feel &amp;quot;so much calmer&amp;quot; as she awaits the next stage of treatment. Harris served as a co-host on Dancing with the Stars for seven seasons, and later went on to work on Entertainment Tonight. Her Dancing with the Stars replacement Brooke Burke Charvet battled cancer last year. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
