NORTH CAROLINA -- A New York doctor is credited with diagnosing a North Carolina woman with cancer after seeing her appearance of an HGTV show.

  • Dr. Erich Voight was watching "Beach House Bargain Hunters" when he noticed a mass on Nicole McGuinness' throat
  • He posted a clip of the show to Facebook in hopes of finding and helping her
  • McGuinness was diagnosed with thyroid cancer

Dr. Erich Voight was watching "Beach House Bargain Hunters" when he noticed a mass on Nicole McGuinness' throat.

 

 

The doctor didn't know McGuinness' last name so he posted a clip of the show to Facebook in hopes of finding and helping her.

The news eventually got back to McGuinness, who lives in Havelock. 

McGuinness went to the doctor, who diagnosed her with thyroid cancer.

She was also diagnosed with brain cancer in 2015 but has since received a clear MRI.
