"I'm a living, walking example of the importance of early detection and getting screened," Katie said at the American Ballet Theatre Fall Gala in New York on Tuesday. "I was very fortunate," she said of her prognosis. "My cancer was caught very, very early when it's most treatable, and if I can just be an advertisement for people to get screened, to get their mammography done, to talk to their doctors, and if they have dense breasts, to get additional screening.
Katie underwent a lumpectomy to remove the tumor in July 2022. Pathology results showed that her cancer was at stage 1A, and was caught early enough that she was able to forgo chemotherapy.
