HOWARD STERN AND WIFE BETH'S HOME IS FULL OF CATS: 'WHOEVER NEEDS US IS WELCOME'

“I went in for an annual mammogram 6 months ago and they found 1/2 inch growth that needed to be rechecked in 6 months,” she wrote. “Today [Tuesday] was my recheck and it didn’t increase in size. I was a nervous wreck for the past 6 months. A very dear friend of mine recently had a double mastectomy so this was extra sensitive.”

"Mine fortunately hasn’t grown and is just a Fibroadenoma," Stern continued.

“I just want to tell all of you amazing women out there..get your yearly mammograms,” she said. “… i think you are all important and worthy and want you to be here as long as you can… love you all. #loveourboobies #ourmenlovethemtoo."
