Breast cancer month is over but there’s a crazy story in People magazine we couldn’t help but bring to your attention …
It involves Good Morning America correspondent Amy Robach, who participated in a live, on-air mammogram last month as part of an effort to encourage women to get tested for this disease.
Well guess what … the mammogram (and follow-up tests) revealed Robach has breast cancer.
Unbelievable, right?
“I’m so grateful that I got the mammogram that day,” Robach told GMA host Robin Roberts. “Robin’s words still echo inside of me ‘If I got the mammogram on-air and saved one life then it’s all worth it’ she had said. It never occurred to me that that life would be mine.”
Pretty amazing …
It’s unclear how far Robach’s cancer has spread – and obviously there’s little information available on her long-term prognosis. The forty-year-old Michigan native – who had no family history for the disease – is scheduled to undergo a bilateral masectomy this week.
We wish her (and her family) the best …

This is a perfect example of why all women should let me rub their breasts before the start of every conversation.
I’m just doing my part in trying to save their life.
Oh, shut the fuck up. Not the time for shitty, sexist jokes.
So I can’t rub your breasts?
Inappropriate and funny as all get out…
Men and women are almost twice as likely to die of colorectal cancer than of breast or prostate cancer. They’re almost 3 times as likely to die of lung cancer than breast and prostate cancer combined.
Most cancer is readily detectable – get your digital rectal exam or mammogram and colonoscopy. quit smoking and try eating real food occasionally.
I always loved Amy when she anchored at WCBD in Charleston. I wish her luck and many prayers.
Who gives a crap if “you wish her the best”? Did you wish your girlfriend the best when you terrorized her during your CDV crime?
You’re just pissed that he boned her before you.

Will, are you from Anderson County or something?! It’s “mastectomy.” There’s no such thing as a “masectomy.”
