Good Morning America!

 Good Morning America'a Robin Roberts talks Breast Cancer in the magazine Prevention March 2011:

“I found my lump in a self-exam!  Because I was familiar with my body and the lumps, I knew this one felt different. I called the doctor’s office and said, ‘Hey, I found a lump—can you move up the exam?’  They said, ‘No, we’re booked solid.’  And I’m thinking to myself, Wow, this really happens.”
“[After completing radiation] I was in a funk.  I was depressed.  Also you’re mad at yourself because you’re thinking, I’m supposed to be happy.  The treatment’s over.  My hair is growing back.” My treatment ended in March/April of ’08.  It wasn’t until the end of that summer that I started to feel I wasn’t depressed.  Even when I went on vacation to Saint Lucia, I was kind of depressed, even though it was such a beautiful place.”
