Two weeks ago, ABC News, Amy Robach announced that she was diagnosed with breast cancer following a mammogram in October live on "Good Morning America", and meant to be a bilateral mastectomy.
Today, Amy reached out to her colleagues for the support and love through the ABC to try to thank time and share some good news about his recovery:
Happy Friday everyone!
It might be cold and gloomy outside today, but it is warm and sunny in my world. This post is late ... it is a debt of gratitude to the heavily burdened me how much each and every one of you. The incredible outpouring of support, the ABC began from the first moment I got my diagnosis. Calls, emails, cards, flowers, blankets, care packages, food, pajamas, slippers, assistance insurance, doctor's advice ... the list goes on ad infinitum.It was really overwhelming, how many thought everything anyone could possibly want or need a doctor during the crisis. It brought tears to my eyes and so much joy warmed my heart more than you know and never see my family ABC did for me and my entire family. In fact, there have been so many emails, it takes weeks to get to each of you!
Physically and mentally I've been through the ringer, but I'm coming up on one side so much stronger. I have a greater appreciation for life, health, and how such simple acts of kindness can be so incredibly powerful. I was looking through a different lens for now ... and I am thankful for that as well. Had my life prior to October 30, and now my life after that.
My prognosis is good, I got lucky to find cancer through ABC is sponsored by mammogram and I was lucky to pick an aggressive approach, bilateral mastectomy, because even though the surgery last week, my surgeon, secondly, overlooked by a malignant tumor. There is no magnetic resonance imaging, mammography, does a sonogram had found it ... it was just the breast, he found it. My cancer had spread to the sentinel lymph node, but not any longer so I have more treatments before me, but none of that takes me away from work. Now what I'm going to head back to Monday, Dec. 2 and could not be more excited to get back to work.
