Hoda Kotb Recalls Doctor Saying She Would Die If She Didn't Do Chemo


Hoda Kotb recalled a doctor telling her she would die if she didn't undergo chemotherapy while battling breast cancer in 2007

She opened up about her cancer diagnosis while chatting with podcast guest Elle Macpherson about her own decision not to undergo chemo in favor of holistic treatments. While sharing her secret cancer battle in September 2024, Macpherson told Women’s Weekly that she was in “clinical remission.” On Kotb’s podcast, she noted that she is currently living a “very, very healthy, happy life and lifestyle.” Three weeks later, Kotb got the gig and began cohosting the fourth hour of Today with Kathie Lee Gifford later that year.
