Katie Couric underwent treatment for early-stage b——- cancer in 2022 and shared her journey on her website. Per the journalist, she was treated with a lumpectomy and radiation on top of the medication she would need to consume for five years after finding out about her condition when she received her overdue mammogram.
Couric noted she was not the only one in the family who faced the dreaded illness.
“The heart-stopping, suspended animation feeling I remember all too well came flooding back: Jay’s colon cancer diagnosis at 41 and the terrifying, gutting nine months that followed. My sister Emily‘s pancreatic cancer, which would later kill her at 54, just as her political career was really taking off. My mother-in-law Carol‘s ovarian cancer, which she was fighting as she buried her son, a year and nine months before she herself was laid to rest,” she detailed.
In addition, her mother reportedly had mantle cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, while her father was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
