At the time, she told ABC News' Amy Robach, “It took me four months to go, 'This doesn't sit right with me.’ Four months later, when I went to see my specialist, I had a needle biopsy, after two ultrasounds, and I had an MRI right before we scheduled a lumpectomy.”

“Even the pathology they do in the operating room said no cancer, so I came out and my husband, right next to me, said, 'Babe, you're all clear.’ I didn't even take him to the follow-up because I thought I didn't have cancer,” she added.
