Holly Rowe has been an example of work ethics and professionalism. She is best known as the ESPN sideline reporter for more than two decades and has created an identity as a tenacious reporter.
Rowe came to the spotlight when she battled cancer but only took a 10-day-leave from ESPN. She joined in 1998 and has been a milestone in sideline reporting ever since.
Cancer Journey
Holly was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called desmoplastic melanoma in 2015. After being diagnosed with skin cancer, her son and her mother drove her for two weeks straight to get chemotherapy. In February 2016, the doctors successfully removed cancerous tissues from her chest, and she recovered soon.
In an interview with The Daily Universe on 31 October 2017, she stated that during the drive to get chemotherapy, she used to listen to Chance the Rapper’s 'Coloring Book' album with her son, and after the treatment, they watched movies together.
It helped bring our family very, very close, we spent a lot of time with each other.
After becoming cancer-free, she was again diagnosed with aggressive cancer illness on her lungs and right arm in May 2017. She then underwent immunotherapy treatment, which was a new technology to treat disease.
Despite the heart-wrenching treatment procedure, she remained positive about her fight against cancer. Holly also revealed that she only missed ten days of her work commitments due to her health issues.
Rowe stated that work helped her pass through the cancer journey as it made her feel better when she had things to look forward to.
I have found that when I have things to look forward to, I feel better, as weird as it sounds... Someone is always winning in my work, and it’s important for me to see people winning right now … so I keep grinding.
Holly also mentioned the importance of staying covered in Utah and suggested few things that she could have done during her youth that might have helped her avoid cancer.
I’m being very public and vocal about all of this because I had no idea how invasive melanoma was, I want people to know that the sun is killing us and we can just be so much smarter about how we’re managing that.
The ESPN reporter underwent her last day of chemotherapy in August 2018.
