Beloved Atlanta News Anchor Jovita Moore Diagnosed With Brain Cancer Shares Inspiring Progress
During an interview with WSB-TV last week, Moore recounted a time when she experienced severe symptoms and knew she needed to seek medical attention, NBC’s Today reported.
“I was really concerned about why all of a sudden I was forgetful, disoriented and just not feeling like myself. Feeling like I was in a fog and really wanting to get out of that fog,” she said.
“I remember walking across the parking lot and feeling like I wasn’t going to make it to the door. I was almost like walking in quicksand,” she continued.
She also urged her audience to make an appointment with their doctor if they feel like something isn’t right.
“This journey for me started with an unusual headache so if something’s not right with you, I urge you to please get yourself checked,” she said. “I’m home now. I’m up and about and doing everything my doctors tell me to do. So for now, I need to be here to focus on my health. I’m surrounded by my family, a very small circle of friends, but also your extended love and support.”
Moore joined WSB-TV in 1997 and since 2012 she has been anchoring the evening news, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
If the cancer treatments continue to go well, Moore hopes to one day return to the anchor desk.
