CNN anchor Zoraida Sambolin is getting mastectomy

ATLANTA (AP) —CNN anchor Zoraida Sambolin says she has breast cancer and is getting a double mastectomy.
Sambolin, who anchors CNN’s “Early Start” morning show, talked about her condition on the show Tuesday while discussing the recent double mastectomy of actress Angelina Jolie.
Sambolin said wanting to be there for her children helped her make the decision.
In a New York Times op-ed, Jolie announced she has had a preventive double mastectomy after learning she carried a gene that made it extremely likely she would get breast cancer. Jolie writes that she made the choice with thoughts of her six children after watching her own mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, die too young from cancer.
