NBC host Sara Gore announced Sunday that she is currently cancer-free, several months after revealing her breast cancer diagnosis live on air. Gore, who co-hosts “Open House” and “New York Live,” shared the update on Instagram, calling it a “little update” for her followers.
"I’m doing really well. Let’s get that out of the way. Currently cancer free. Hallelujah," Gore wrote. She added that she is still in the reconstruction phase of her recovery and anticipates it will continue for months, describing the process as a "journey."
"Healing has taken some time, but every week I’ve felt a little more like me again," she stated. Gore also expressed gratitude for the support she received from her followers, including gifts, books, flowers, food, puzzles, prayers, cards, texts, and calls.
"Every thoughtful gesture that came my way. I felt EVERY bit of it," Gore wrote. "You carried me through some really hard days, and I’ll never forget your kindness."
She indicated that she will soon return to her hosting duties, stating, "I’m going to be back on" her shows and "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 concluded. "it’s good to be here. I love you all."
Gore first shared her diagnosis in April during an episode of “New York Live,” explaining at the time that she would be taking a leave of absence for treatment and surgery. "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," she said then.
At the time of her initial announcement, Gore, 49, admitted to being scared but noted that she had always known she was high-risk due to her mother and sister also being diagnosed with the disease. "I always knew I was high-risk. I always assumed this day would come. But let me tell you, you are never ready," she said. "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."
She also credited her work “family” for helping her feel loved and supported through the process, concluding her April statement with: "I’m going to come back better than ever, and I’m going to see you on the other side of this. Thank you for all you’ve done."
