When "Good Morning America" correspondent Amy Robach reluctantly got a mammogram on-air last month, she never expected this.
Robach was screened as part of a GMA to encourage viewers to get tested -- but after the initial mammogram, doctors called her back for additional tests, which revealed she actually has breast cancer.
The 40-year-old described her diagnosis this morning -- and her plan for a double mastectomy.
Amy said it was hard breaking the news to her children with "Melrose Place" star husband Andrew Shue.
"Telling my children was the toughest part," she said. "But that's when you get strong, because you have to be strong for other people."
Robach will go in for a bilateral mastectomy on November 14, followed by reconstructive surgery.
"Only then will I know more about what that fight will fully entail," she continues, "but I am mentally and physically as prepared as anyone can be in this situation."
