Marney Gellner went in for her annual mammogram Feb. 20. The Bally Sports North studio host took a photo that morning that she planned to post on social media to promote breast health, but decided against it because of the poor lighting.
But Gellner did end up posting that photo a month later, along with the news: “2 mammograms and 1 biopsy later, I received a diagnosis: breast cancer.”
Gellner first revealed the diagnosis during her regular appearance on the Power Trip Morning Show on KFXN-100.3 before posting the news on her Twitter account.
“Thankfully, it was detected very early and my treatment plan is to have a lumpectomy, followed by 3 weeks of radiation,” Gellner said. “I am SO thankful and blessed to have this option. Without early detection, I would be going down a much different road.”
Gellner used her situation as an opportunity to continue to promote breast health for all. She noted her family has no history of breast cancer, yet that didn’t prevent her from getting it. In a subsequent tweet, Gellner implored women to get annual mammograms, and told men to support the women in their lives by encouraging them to do the same.
“Let’s all give a hoot about our hoots. Or something clever like that,” Gellner tweeted. “Thank you so much for the support – I love you all.”
