Amy Robach's Cancer Plea: Live, Love, Mammogram!
31 Oct
Summary
- Amy Robach shared a passionate plea for mammograms on Instagram.
- She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013 after an on-air mammogram.
- Robach urged followers to 'live more, love more, and get mammograms'.
In September 2026, Amy Robach, 53, shared a poignant message on Instagram, urging her followers to prioritize their health and get mammograms. The former GMA3 anchor revealed this photo was taken during her third round of chemotherapy thirteen years after her initial breast cancer diagnosis in 2013.
Robach's cancer journey began with a mammogram conducted live on air for Breast Cancer Awareness month. This revealed cancer in her breast, leading to a bilateral mastectomy. Further discovery of a second malignant tumor and spread to lymph nodes necessitated eight rounds of chemotherapy, radiation, and reconstructive surgery. She was declared cancer-free in March 2022.
More recently, in 2024, Robach admitted on a podcast that she had not seen her doctor for essential blood work since August 2022, a lapse attributed to the tumultuous period following her and TJ Holmes's professional leave from ABC in December 2022 and subsequent departure in January 2026. This omission stemmed from a fear of tumor marker tests indicating terminal cancer.
Speaking with Dr. Elizabeth Comen, Robach addressed concerns about medical tests. Dr. Comen clarified that elevated tumor markers do not always signify cancer, as other health issues can also cause them, offering reassurance regarding diagnostic uncertainties.
