NBC’s Sara Gore has shared a positive health update months after revealing her breast cancer diagnosis.
During an April edition of New York Live, the Emmy-winning host, 50, told viewers she would be stepping away to undergo treatment and surgery.
Now, just two months later, Gore said she is “currently cancer-free.”
“I’m doing really well. Let’s get that out of the way,” she wrote Sunday on Instagram, alongside a picture of her sitting outside in front of a flower vine. She said that she is “still in the reconstruction phase and will be for months.”
“It’s truly a journey. Healing has taken some time, but every week I’ve felt a little more like me again,” Gore continued.
Expressing gratitude to friends, followers and fans for “every thoughtful gesture that came my way,” Gore said, “I felt EVERY bit of it. You carried me through some really hard days, and I’ll never forget your kindness.
“I’ll be back on New York Live and Open House soon, and I honestly can’t wait,” she continued. “Until then, I’m soaking up these last few slow mornings appreciating all the moments that usually move by too fast to notice. It’s good to be here. I love you all.”
Gore has been the face of NBC’s real estate and design show, Open House, and lifestyle show, New York Live, since 2007. In 2024, she launched NYL: Prime Time Edition.
For several years, she has also hosted the network’s First Look Live on the Red Carpet Specials for the Golden Globes, Emmy Awards, and other live specials.
Addressing audiences live on-air in April, Gore said: “It just felt right to tell you myself, I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and I’m going to be stepping away for treatment and surgery. If I didn’t say that I was a little bit scared, I’d be lying.”
She noted that her mom and sister had previously been diagnosed with breast cancer, but the news still came as a shock. “I always knew I was high-risk. I always assumed this day would come. But let me tell you, you are never ready,” Gore said.
“For some reason, even when you catch it early because you’re doing everything right, it is an emotional blow,” she continued. “I wasn’t ready for that. That actually really surprised me. It really stung. It’s stinging right now.”
She promised that she would “come back better than ever, and I’m going to see you on the other side of this,” thanking her NBC colleagues for “all you’ve done.”
