Why She Made the Announcement
Sara Gore chose to announce her breast cancer diagnosis directly to viewers during a New York Live segment on April 30, 2026. She stated, 'It just felt right to tell you myself, I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.' Gore acknowledged her fear about the diagnosis, saying 'If I didn't say that I was a little bit scared, I'd be lying.'
Her Emotional Response
Despite knowing she had high risk for breast cancer due to her mother and sister both having the disease, Gore said she was 'caught off guard' by her own diagnosis. She emphasized that even when cancer is caught early through proper screening, 'it is an emotional blow, and I wasn't ready for that. That actually really surprised me. It really stung.'
Support and Outlook
Gore expressed gratitude for the support surrounding her, stating she is 'exactly where I need to be, and I'm surrounded by incredible doctors, and people who are taking such good care of me.' She concluded her announcement with optimism, saying 'I'm going to come back better than ever, and I'm going to see you on the other side of this.'
Treatment Plans
Gore announced she would be stepping away from her hosting duties on 'Open House' and 'New York Live' to undergo treatment and surgery. She indicated she would take time to rest and heal, though the duration of her absence was not specified at the time of the announcement.
