NBC’s Sara Gore shares that she’s cancer free after diagnosis
Sara Gore shared a positive update just months after revealing a cancer diagnosis live on the air in April.
The journalist, who hosts NBC’s “Open House” and “New York Live,” took to Instagram on Sunday to share what she called “just a little update” with her followers.
“I’m doing really well. Let’s get that out of the way. Currently cancer free. Hallelujah. 🙌 ” she began.
“I’m still in the reconstruction phase and will be for months. It’s truly a journey,” she continued. “Healing has taken some time, but every week I’ve felt a little more like me again.”
Gore went on to thank her followers for the many gifts they’d sent in support of her healing, including books, flowers, food, puzzles, prayers, cards, texts, and calls.
“Every thoughtful gesture that came my way. I felt EVERY bit of it,” she noted. “You carried me through some really hard days, and I’ll never forget your kindness.”
Gore wrote that she’ll be “back on” her shows soon, and added that she “honestly can’t wait.”
“Until then, I’m soaking up these last few slow mornings appreciating all the moments that usually move by too fast to notice,” she wrote before signing off, “it’s good to be here. I love you all. 🤍”
Gore shared in April, on the air, that she’d been diagnosed with breast cancer and would be taking a leave of absence from her hosting duties at “Open House” and “New York Live” as she sought treatment.
“It just felt right to tell you myself, I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and I’m going to be stepping away for treatment and surgery,” Gore, 49, said during an episode of “New York Live.”
“If I didn’t say that I was a little bit scared, I’d be lying,” she confessed, at the time.
“I always knew I was high-risk. I always assumed this day would come. But let me tell you, you are never ready,” she explained, adding that she felt “caught off guard” by the news even though her mother and sister had also been diagnosed with the disease.
“You’re just never ready for some reason because, even when you catch it early because you’re doing everything right, it is an emotional blow.”
Gore went on to tell her audience that her work “family” was helping her to feel “loved” and “very supported” through the diagnosis.
“I’m going to come back better than ever, and I’m going to see you on the other side of this,” Gore noted. “Thank you for all you’ve done.”
