ESPN reporter Hannah Storm, 61, announces breast cancer diagnosis after routine mammogram: ‘I was shocked’

“I was able to go back to work, cover the Super Bowl, which was a real blessing,” she said.

“I’m also taking a drug called tamoxifen that blocks all the estrogen and progesterone, which apparently, my cells feed off of that. I’m taking this for the next three years.”

Although Storm initially kept her diagnosis private, she said she shared her story in hopes that it could help other women.

“I think about having daughters too and the importance of them understanding and advocating for their health and what you can do,” Storms — who shares three daughters with husband Dan Hicks — said.

“This is how you find it. You find it through getting your yearly mammograms.”

Storm added, “This is how you find out that you have breast cancer and if you find out that you have it in the earliest form, it’s so treatable. There’s so much that you can do about it.”
