My first co-anchor did this too. To encourage women to participate in exams she had her mammogram on TV. So did my twitter buddy @NeileJones, as she wrote about here in loop.
But I always feared one of the women would find out bad news. I mean it so easily could have been me.

As it happened I am kind private about medical stuff (though I guess this blog contradicts that) but I was so glad I lost my job just a few weeks before my DX. This I needed to do in private.
I have no problem giving talks for BC groups, but this would be hard for me.
Best of luck to her!!

It takes guts and courage to do something like this on TV. I'm not sure I could either.
