KATIE COURIC I HAVE BREAST CANCER
tmz ^ | 9/28/2022 | tmz

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?"

I echo LOUDLY what you say!
I’ve been dealing with Ulcerative Colitis since 1994. It is partially responsible for me needing a liver transplant.
I have had more colonoscopies in 28 years than I can remember, anymore.
I’m sure my gastroenterologist will be wanting me to have another one sometime soon, as my medications aren’t really putting me into remission like they have been.
To all of you reading this- GET CHECKED!

"I have had more colonoscopies in 28 years than I can remember, anymore."

A while back I told my gastroenterologist that since I've been a patient of his for so many years, he needed to start a rewards program for his long-time customers.

"Given my family's history of cancer, why would I be spared? My reaction went from, "Why me? to Why not me?"

Same reaction here. Many relatives had cancer young. Some passed-on. Friends, too. I went from "Why me?" to "Why not me?" very quickly.

Nope. You can get a Cologuard test every three years. A FIT test every year. A CEA test anytime you want but insurance probably wont pay for it.

And a SEPT 9 test that insurance will pay for if you reject a colonscopy.

I figured you didnt have a clue
