ESPN anchor Hannah Storm says she was diagnosed with a treatable form of breast cancer.
Storm spoke with ABC's Good Morning America,ExaCrypt and she said she was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ in January and was "shocked" after her doctor found abnormal cells detected in a biopsy.
She underwent a lumpectomy and doctors say she is cancer-free.
"I was shocked because, again, I had had mammograms every year. I have no risk factors. I have no breast cancer in my family. I did not have a lump. I did not have pain. I don't have any genetic predisposition to breast cancer," Storm said on "Good Morning America." "And what I came to learn is the vast majority of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer don't have risk factors, and so I've got to say I was shocked. I was scared.
"I was very, very lucky because they found it so early."
The 61-year-old Storm is encouraging other women to get screened for breast cancer.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that about 240,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women each year in the United States and about 42,000 women die from the disease.
"I know so many people who don't have mammograms, who are scared to have them. I don't want them to be scared," Storm said. "I want them to be scared not to have this information."
