NEW YORK -- WABC-TV, New York's No. 1 station and the most-watched television station in the nation, will air "Breast Cancer: Updates & Progress in A Pandemic" On SUNDAY, OCT. 17 (5.30 p.m. EDT), and will rebroadcast SUNDAY, OCT. 24 (5.30 a.m. EDT), marking WABC's 27th year working with the American Cancer Society. Hosted by Eyewitness News anchor Liz Cho, the special features inspirational breast cancer survivors who share their private struggles to protect their health during the pandemic.
The special shares moving stories of breast cancer survivors who took on the odds, confronted daunting obstacles and want to motivate others to do the same. Featured stories include the following:
-A married New Jersey mother of two had a family history of cancer and obtained genetic testing at age 20. It confirmed her need to be vigilant. With informed choices, she used prophylactic measures that have kept her cancer-free, and now at age 44, she is enjoying her two children and family. She stresses the importance of being informed.
- A newly retired breast cancer survivor of 22 years was diligent with her annual mammograms, which saved her life when diagnosed with Lymphoma. Her new doctor promised her a long life, saying, "I'm going to take care of you till you get to be a really old lady".
- A Long Island resident speaks of how losing her mother to pancreatic cancer left her wanting a career in health and physical education. Involving her students in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk was an annual event that coincided with her finding a lump. She speaks about the need for vigilance and hopes the COVID-19 pandemic will not prevent her from walking this year, on her 5th anniversary of diagnosis.
The annual special is part of WABC-TV's continuing commitment to the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign. The station has produced a number of compelling local specials raising awareness of breast cancer. Previous specials have won seven Emmy Awards and three National Gracie Allen Awards.
