Joan Lunden former "Good
Morning America" co-host has interpreted with breast
cancer, revealed on Tuesday. She acknowledged that she is suffering with cancer
by posting tweet and a letter on her website JoanLunden.com to her fans;
“Lunden said she had received an
all-clear two weeks ago after her annual mammogram, but "for women who
have dense fibrous breast tissue, as I do, often our doctors will recommend an
ultrasound as well." "My ultrasound that day revealed a tumor in my
right breast," she wrote.
She also said it is so hard to
every woman to hear the words that you have breast cancer. I never thought that
I had heard these words in my life. Lunden, 63, called her cancer “the
aggressive kind”.
Lunden has co-hosted “GMA” from
1980 to 1997 shared the news with current host of “GMA” who is a breast cancer survivor. This news also
shocked to staff and “GMA” co-host Amy Robach is also being
treated for breast cancer.
She said, I have decided to share
this news from all of my fans because since I joined “Good Morning America” I have
lived my life with all of you, all my happiness, my disappointments: my pregnancies,
my relationships, my career. So it did not feel good to keep secret this part
of my life journey.
Lunden opened up about her late
father, who was a cancer surgeon. "I have covered many stories about
breast cancer over the years but I never actually thought this would happen to
me".
I have already begun my chemotherapy
and my treatment will also include a lumpectomy and radiation for full
recovery. I have received a support from my husband Jeff and my three older
daughters in every step of the way.
