ABC News' Amy Robach Shares That Breast Cancer Has Spread; Back to Work in December
By: Robert Diamond Nov. 22, 2013
On November 11th Good Morning America on ABC, former TODAY anchor and current ABC News correspondent Amy Robach announced that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. The diagnosis came after the reporter underwent her first mammogram live on-air on October 1.
At the time, she shared that she would undergo a bilateral mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. Today, she revealed in a blog on ABC that "My prognosis is good, I got very lucky finding the cancer through our ABC sponsored mammogram and I got lucky choosing an aggressive approach, bilateral mastectomy, because while in surgery last week my surgeon found a second, undetected malignant tumor.
No MRI, no mammogram, no sonogram had found it...it was only through the mastectomy that she discovered it. My cancer had spread to my sentinel lymph node, but not beyond, so I will have more treatments ahead of me, but none that will take me out of work. As of right now, I plan to head back into the building Monday, December 2nd and I couldn't be more excited to get back to work."
