Andrea Mitchell Has Breast Cancer
Andrea Mitchell announced on her MSNBC show that she has breast cancer, urging women to get screened and saying her own prognosis was "terrific." "I had planned to be hiking in Wyoming last week but instead discovered that I am now among the one in eight women — incredibly, one in eight — who've had breast cancer," she said Wednesday. "Mine was discovered during my annual screening just a short time ago. Lucky for me, I'm one of the fortunate ones. We discovered it in the earliest stage, it has not spread, and I'm already back at work with a terrific prognosis."
