A routine visit turned nightmare. Katie Couric revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year after putting off a mammogram.
“June 21, 2022, was the first day of summer, my 8th wedding anniversary, and the day I found out I had breast cancer,” the former Today cohost, 65, began in an essay for her Katie Couric Media website on Wednesday, September 28.

Her mother and father had also been diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma and prostate cancer, respectively, but had undergone successful treatment.
