Katie Couric reveals she has been diagnosed with breast cancer

Katie Couric has revealed she was diagnosed with breast cancer in June.

On 28 September, the former TV anchor shared in a post on her website that she is being treated for breast cancer after she had missed a mammogram. In the post – titled “Why NOT Me?” – Couric explained how she reacted after learning she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

“I felt sick and the room started to spin,” she wrote. “I was in the middle of an open office, so I walked to a corner and spoke quietly, my mouth unable to keep up with the questions swirling in my head.”

The journalist wrote that she had a lumpectomy in July and underwent radiation on 7 September.

Katie Couric, who lost her husband Jay Monahan from colon cancer in 1998, is a mother to two daughters: Ellie, 31, and Carrie, 26.
