Katie Couric, a TV icon, is battling breast cancer.
The 65-year-old former "Today" show anchor just revealed she was diagnosed in June. Cancer is no stranger to Katie ... she lost her first husband, Jay Monahan, to colon cancer in 1998. Her sister died from pancreatic cancer and her mother-in-law died from ovarian cancer. She said, "My mood quickly shifted from disbelief to resignation. Given my family's history of cancer, why would I be spared? My reaction went from, "Why me? to Why not me?"

So yeah...get the mammogram
Hope she recovers.
Mrs Al Baby s getting squished this friday
We have a family member. 66 yo if memory serves me.
She got the clot shots. The whole lot.
Totally boosted.
Now she is wondering if maybe the shots are contributing factor.
.................
As for Katie - pffttt - while it is sad for anyone, hasn’t she has built her carer to some degree on health issues? Maybe she can tell us it would have been worse if she was not double-boosted.
Maybe you should go deal with that it private and stop airing all your personal health problems
PS - no I don’t want to watch you get a colonoscopy either
Ditto.
amen!! Nobody seems to keep anything to themselves anymore.
Social media has made everyone and everything an open book.
Wow. The trolls here are alive and well.
I don’t care for Couric’s politics, but she did the country a massive favor with her colon cancer awareness activities.
Sorry to hear that Katie, my prayers are with you. Unlike you who celebrate the bad news of those you do not like or disagree with. I will not stoop to your level in your time of need.
I’ll never understand this kind of “sharing”. When I get sick I’ll make it my biz to keep it private.
I remember being interviewed by Katie Couric when I lived in Phoenix AZ. We did the interview outside (at their request) and it was windy. My earpiece kept falling out and I just had to guess what she was going to ask. She really didn’t care what I was saying. LOL!
well, maybe.
I know i don’t share with anybody- i feel like thats putting a burden on others .
Yep. You are too valuable to your family to not get checked. And too valuable to yourself!
And to men over 50, get that PSA tested for prostate cancer.
...I tend to agree..... I certainly wish her well...my wife is a cancer survivor and praise all that is good and holy, she is cancer-free after several years with no signs of return....having said all that, I don’t hold with Katie’s political views but we still wish her the best....!
That was harsh.
Yes and no- politics aside, i damn well bet she helped cover up all of matt lauer’s rapes and sexual abuses while she railed against a video of Donald Trump. If she didn’t cover them up, she sure as hell was silent about them- so she’s made herself a very easy target.
That said- her daughter must be freaking out considering the family history.
sorry- that post was meant as a reply to #11, not yours.
