London,
(ANI):
Jennifer
Grey,
the
star
of
'Dirty
Dancing",
said
that
a
pre-show
health
check
could
have
saved
her
life
from
cancer.
Grey
consulted
a
doctor
to
confirm
that
she
was
fit
enough
to
take
part
in
the
hit
reality
dance
show
'Dance
With
the
Stars",
which
also
stars
David
Hasselhoff
and
former
US
vice-presidential
candidate
Sarah
Palin"s
daughter
Bristol.
“My
neck
was
killing
me,
so
I
said
to
them,
Let
me
have
it
checked
out
and
see
if
I
even
can
do
this
show," The
Daily
Express
quoted
her
as
saying.
Grey
had
also
been
in
an
accident
several
years
back,
a
mishap
that
had
left
her
neck
damaged
severely.
“I
went
to
this
neurological
spine
surgeon
who
I
heard
was
the
best.
He
said
to
me,
'What"s
that
lump
in
your
neck?"
I
said,
'Oh,
its
just
a
benign
nodule
that
I"ve
been
watching
for
four
years,""
said
Grey.
The
doctor
insisted
that
the
nodule
be
removed
and
when
it
was,
they
discovered
that
it
was
cancerous.
Grey
is
now
preparing
herself
for
the
high-pressure
US
show,
where
she
is
partnered
with
Derek
Hough
–
the
professional
dancer
rumoured
to
be
dating
Cheryl
Cole.
