The sports broadcaster explained at the time that she was diagnosed in January 2024<\/a> with ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS, a type of stage 0 breast cancer in which the cancer cells have not spread beyond the breasts\u2019 milk ducts.<\/p>\n

Storm said she underwent a successful lumpectomy and was currently cancer-free, per her doctors. She added that she planned to take the medication tamoxifen for three years.<\/p>\n

Tamoxifen is a hormone therapy drug that \u201cis used to reduce the risk of developing a more serious type of breast cancer in women who have had ductal carcinoma in situ,\u201d according to the National Library of Medicine<\/a>.<\/p>\n
