MSNBC dayside host and seasoned reporter Andrea Mitchell made a shocking declaration Monday afternoon, stating that she is suffering from breast cancer. The 64-year-old Mitchell made the announcement at the end of her show, "Andrea Mitchell Reports." Michell revealed that the disease was discovered in the earliest of stages, and used her announcement as a means to both support breast cancer awareness efforts and to encourage her viewers to screen. She said that she had planned to be hiking in Wyoming last week, but instead discovered that she is now among the 1 in 8 women in this country - incredibly 1 in 8 - who have had breast cancer. She said hers was caught early and reminded women that screening for breast cancer is key and is looking at this experience 'as another of life's lessons.' |
