Journalist Katie Couric revealed on Wednesday that she has been battling breast cancer since June.
In an essay published on her website, Couric shared that she was diagnosed with the disease on June 21, after an overdue mammogram revealed a tumor in the 1A stage.
(Couric has lost several family members to cancer, including husband Jay Monahan to colon cancer in 1998.)
“My mood quickly shifted from disbelief to resignation,” Couric recalled of her initial diagnosis.
