Robin Roberts has breast cancer

Sorry for more bad news, I just read this and thought it was sad. Hopefully she will be okay- I like her!

 

NEW YORK (AP) -- ABC "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts has been diagnosed with breast cancer and will be undergoing surgery Friday.

Robin Roberts' breast cancer is in the early stages, she says.

Roberts, 46, told viewers about her cancer on Tuesday morning's show.

"I am so blessed that I found this in the early stages and the prognosis is so promising that my doctor expects me to be flying planes and hanging on to submarines in the middle of the Atlantic and scaling the Mayan pyramids in no time," she said.

Roberts, who is co-anchor of "Good Morning America" with Diane Sawyer, said she examined herself and found a lump on her breast the same day she had done a report on former "GMA" movie critic Joel Siegel, who died of colon cancer last month. The network wouldn't say which breast was affected.

Roberts, who is single, said there is no history in her family of breast cancer.

She's been a contributor to ABC's morning program since 1995 and was the newsreader before being named in May 2005 as one of the show's anchors.

Former ABC news anchor Peter Jennings announced on "World News Tonight" in April 2005 that he had lung cancer. He never appeared on the air again and died four months later

I hope she will be ok.

This strikes close to home for me because my aunt called me last week and informed me that her breast cancer came back.  Two years ago, they found cancer in her left breast......she went through chemo and radiation, then basically had the entire breast removed and an implant put in.  Last week she said she found a 1cm lump in her right breast.....she's going in next week to have this breast removed along with the implant that's in the other one.  She said she'd rather have this done now than take the "treat it, then wait and see" approach.  I'm hoping my aunt's strategy works for her.  Time will tell.
