This article is about Amy Robach who televised her screening mammogram in hopes to save a life by covering mammograms, and allowing women unfamiliar with the process, a glimpse into what happens during a mammogram. Amy hoped that she would help to save a life, she didn't realize that life would be her own. Read Amy's story here
