We had no idea!
Barbara Walters broke some big news at the Breast Cancer Research Symposium and Awards luncheon in New York City on Thursday.
She talked about her personal battle with breast cancer!
Miz Walters got up on stage, and said:
“Some years back, I discovered a small lump in my breast. I had a lumpectomy. I hadn’t talked about it. There was no reason to. There were other choices that were possible, this was mine. I told few people and I am fine, I’ve had no recurrence. I knew the advances that had been made in treating breast cancer, including lumpectomies when possible. I can remember when such treatments were not available. Research made my treatment possible.”
Leave it to Barbara to have a perfect speech!

We can understand why a person as well-known as the 85-year-old would want to keep this information private, but we’re glad she finally told her story.
There are thousands of women going through the same thing she did, and sharing these stories only makes them stronger!
