Sara Gore has shared an encouraging update about her health a few months after disclosing her cancer diagnosis during a live broadcast in April.
The NBC host of “Open House” and “New York Live” took to Instagram over the weekend to provide what she termed a “little update” with her audience.
“I am doing incredibly well. Let’s get that clear: cancer-free!” she announced with relief. “Hallelujah. 🙌”
She elaborated, “I’m in the reconstruction phase now, which will last for months. It’s truly a journey.” She added, “Recovery has been gradual, but each week I feel more like myself.”
Gore extended her gratitude to her supporters who sent her many encouraging items like books, flowers, food, puzzles, and prayers, as well as heartfelt 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.”
