Longtime WWL Anchor Angela Hill revealed that she is now a breast cancer survivor.  

Hill spoke at an event organized by the local Susan G. Komen chapter promoting a slate of events in October marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“I was diagnosed this summer, I had a double mastectomy,” Hill said Monday. “I remember thinking how many women I know who have been through this. Almost an epidemic. But I know in my heart that of all the choices I made, the most important one was I was going to live.  And I am going to live.”

Hill spoke at the event as they kick off Breast Cancer Awareness month and look to raise money to help fight the disease.  

“The money that’s been raised for the research that’s been done in the last 25 years is unbelievable and the quality of care we have right here in this city is remarkable,” Hill said Monday.
