“I justfeel super luckythat it was diagnosed when it was,” Couric said on theTodayshow. She had a lumpectomy to remove an olive-sized tumor in July and began radiation in September 2022.
Molner opened up in an interview withKatie Couric Mediaabout seeing Couric publicly discuss her cancer diagnosis and writing her 2021 memoirGoing There.
“Idothink of myself as a private person. But Katie’s a public figure, and she likes to share her life. I did have some concerns about what she was going to share,” Molner said. “But I also thought that for her to write an important book, she had to be willing to be authentic about her journey. And that’s what she’s done. There’s no point in writing a book like this unless you’re ready to be honest with yourself. And I think she absolutely did that.”
