Katie Couric Cancer: What type of cancer does Katie Couric have?

Katie Couric has shared that she is being treated for breast cancer after being diagnosed in June.

The former TV anchor has been a long advocate of preventive cancer screenings since her first husband, Jay Monahan, to colon cancer in 1998. Couric said that during an annual pap smear her doctor reminded her that she was overdue for a mammogram.

Couric details in her essay how she reacted after learning on her eighth wedding anniversary in June that she had breast cancer.

“I felt sick and the room started to spin, I was in the middle of an open office, so I walked to a corner and spoke quietly, my mouth unable to keep up with the questions swirling in my head”. She wrote.
