Feder: Deborah Norville has surgery to remove cancerous nodule

Deborah Norville, longtime host of "Inside Edition" and former Chicago news anchor, underwent surgery Tuesday to have a cancerous nodule removed from her thyroid, Robert Feder writes.

"Out of surgery. Everything went great," she tweeted through an assistant.

Chicago fans still have fond memories of Norville's five-year run as a news anchor and reporter at NBC-owned WMAQ-Channel 5. In 1986, her promotion to NBC News in New York prompted an official proclamation from then-Mayor Harold Washington, among other tributes.
