On July 17, “Today” contributor Jill Martin revealed to Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie that she has breast. “It feels like someone else is telling this story,” tearful Martin explained.
She added that she had kept up with her routine mammograms and had recently received the all-clear during a January consultation. Martin told People that she did a test to see if she was positive for the BRCA gene owing to family history, and she was.
A person with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation has a “significantly increased risk of developing breast cancer or ovarian cancer,” according to the Mayo Clinic.
