Amy Robach's Cancer Journey: What Doctors Said That Stuck With Her

Amy Robach, former co-host of Good Morning America and breast cancer survivor, shared a powerful moment from her cancer journey. Diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in 2013 during an on-air mammogram, Robach underwent a double mastectomy and eight rounds of chemo. In a podcast episode for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, she recalled what her radiologist said that she can't forget. The radiologist showed her a lump she hadn't felt, stating, "You've never felt this before? " This experience made Robach question her own awareness. She admitted that cancer changed her for the better, transforming fear into motivation. Robach credited her colleague, Robin Roberts, for support. Her oncologist assured her that no patient regretted their battle with cancer, but Robach had her own perspective. She acknowledged the constant fear of recurrence despite remission. Now, Robach advocates for annual screenings and promotes new treatments. She encourages women to overcome the fear of diagnosis, emphasizing that early detection can save lives.
