“I have never been sick a single day in my life. I don’t smoke, I rarely drink. Breast cancer does not run in my family. And yet, here I am, with stage three breast cancer. It’s hard to say it out loud,” she spoke.

“Something I didn’t know before this diagnosis. If you are a black woman, you are 41% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women… 41%. So, to all my black, white and brown sisters, please, for the love of God, get mammograms every year. Do self-examinations, try to detect it before me,” Sidner shared.

In her talk, the news anchor talked about how having the illness changed the way she sees life
