Katie Couric, a well-known journalist, rose to prominence as a co-host of NBC’s TODAY.

Fans were stunned when the former TODAY anchor disclosed in September 2022 that she had been diagnosed with a fatal kind of cancer.

On September 28, 2022, Couric updated her followers on Instagram about her personal life.

She said at the time that radiation treatments had started after receiving a breast cancer diagnosis in June.

In the United States, a woman gets given a breast cancer diagnosis every two minutes, according to what she wrote.

“On June 21st, I became one of them. As we approach #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, I wanted to share my personal story with you all and encourage you to get screened and understand that you may fall into a category of women who needs more than a mammogram.”

She afterwards described in an essay how she felt upon hearing the news.

“I felt sick and the room started to spin,” she explained.

“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.”

Although Couric’s initial reaction to the diagnosis may have been fear, she has subsequently utilised her position to encourage other women to get frequent examinations.

“Please get your annual mammogram,” she added.

“I was six months late this time. I shudder to think what might have happened if I had put it off longer. But just as importantly, please find out if you need additional screening.”
