Ann Romney.
Telling FOX & Friends that her breast cancer was discovered a little more than a year ago thanks to a routine mammogram, Ann Romney this week makes the case that "if I were a 40-year-old woman, 40-to-50, I'd want to be getting my mammograms. They catch cancers, and cancer is very curable if you catch it early."
Mammography has been much in the news of late, as the NPR health blog Shots reminds us, because of recent advice that some women may not need to get one annually.
The 60-year-old wife of 2008 Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney and her husband recorded an interview with the Fox News Channel show that is due to air tomorrow.
Fox says it's her first such sit-down since being diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing a lumpectomy in December 2008. Romney tells FOX & Friends' Gretchen Carlson that she kept the news private until now because:
"We were not in the public eye anymore and there was no reason for me to be out again being in the public eye, when you're going through a crisis you really just kind of want to have your family around and your husband."
As for her husband's political future and another possible presidential run, Romney tells Fox that "we're not ready to make that decision yet."
