In an unexpected Instagram post shared on Tuesday, the 36-year-old host announced that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer just hours before giving birth to her first child. 'Last week, I welcomed my first child into the world. About fifteen hours before I went into labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer,' the post read.

I read about that, apparently she says it is stage 0, very treatable. Still, hell of a time for such a diagnosis.

They would have not caught had she not been pregnant about to deliver. I’m glad they caught this so early.

Gladly they caught it. I’m not for universal healthcare but I do wish genetic testing was free for everyone so people could find things out like breast cancer if they have the trait and other hereditary issues.

DOGE gonna cut that funding. She'll die, and whatever.

It’s just parasites.
All disease and “cancer” are symptoms of parasites.

Mammograms and biopsies just spread the cancer.
My mom and maternal mawmaw both had double mastectomies & I’ll never get another mammogram again.

Wait, are you being serious? I use this word flippantly but, I've never been more serious when I've said this, you're retarded.

Bless your heart.
Bet you thought that was quite the zinger.

So you are saying mashing/cutting cancer cells and sending them throughout the body doesn't raise cancer risk?

Yes, there’s some evidence that disturbing cancer cells, such as during surgery or biopsy, can potentially lead to their spread, though it’s not a straightforward "yes" or "no" situation—it depends on context, cancer type, and specific circumstances.
The concept is tied to something called tumor seeding or needle tract seeding, where cancer cells dislodged during a procedure (like a biopsy) might spread along the needle path or into nearby tissues. Studies, particularly on cancers like breast, prostate, or liver, have shown this can happen, but it’s rare. For example, a 2018 review in The BMJ found that biopsy-related seeding occurs in about 0.005% to 0.1% of cases, depending on the technique and cancer type. Surgical disturbance can also release cancer cells into the bloodstream or lymphatic system, a process linked to circulating tumor cells (CTCs), which might then settle elsewhere as metastases. Research in Nature Reviews Cancer (2020) suggests that while this release happens, it doesn’t always lead to successful colonization—other factors like the immune system or tumor microenvironment play a big role in whether those cells survive and grow.
On the flip side, the risk is often overstated in popular discourse. Modern surgical techniques, like using smaller needles or "no-touch" isolation methods, aim to minimize this. Plus, cancer cells don’t just spread because they’re poked—they need the right conditions to take root. For instance, a study on colorectal cancer (Annals of Surgery, 2019) showed no significant increase in metastasis from surgical disturbance when proper protocols were followed.
So, can they spread by being disturbed? Potentially, yes, but it’s a low-probability event under controlled medical conditions. The bigger driver of spread is usually the cancer’s natural progression, not the act of disturbing it. If you’re thinking about a specific scenario—like a medical procedure—let me know, and I can dig deepe
So rare, but the chance still exists.

That's a biopsy.
The person posting above has a genetic pre-disposition to breast cancer since her mother and grandmother both had it. Now she won't do the one thing that detects it very early...the one thing millions of woman do every year.
I can predict her outcome with about a 90% confidence level.

Biopsy spread the BC in my aunt's case. I have fibrocystic dense breast tissue and my Dr said mammogram are basically useless for me. Ultrasound instead but they would prefer I get an MRI every couple years.

I hope she makes a full recovery

You just need to go back to being "the cool mom". Now go make some sandwiches.

The risk is from making medical decisions that are unnecessary due to fear. When a patient has been diagnosed with a cancer that most likely would never grow or become anything other than benign, then the fall back from doctors is to lean on the side of caution and recommend a mastectomy "just to be certain". That's the real danger of mammograms. Thinking you can save a life that didn't (most likely) need to be saved, by allowing fear to guide decisions.
The thought that a cell of any type gets smashed in a mammogram then shoots off to other parts of the body is tin foil hat ridiculous, but if you choose not to believe over a hundred years of 'modern' medical research on breast cancer, that's your right. Good luck with that.

Wow, that really really sucks for Kat but I’m glad they caught it early.
My mom died of breast cancer. She had the gene. Caught it in stage one at age 57. Treated it, it went into “remission” and reappeared at stage 4 at 67. She died at 70. She was in excellent health besides the damn cancer.
