Good Morning America Host Robin Roberts Announces She Has Breast Cancer

ABC GMA | GMA

[MindBender26]

In the 7:30 segment of this mornings show, GMA host Robin Roberts announced she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She has no family history of the disease. It was found on a routine ultrasound exam, not traditional mammography. The type of cancer she reportedly has is more readily detected via ultrasound than mammography.

No prognosis was given, but Roberts and Diane Sawyer indicated the cancer had been caught early.

ABC has been hit hard by health problems with anchors recently. Among the more serious issues, Peter Jennings died of lung cancer and Bob Woodward was seriously wounded in Iraq. Roberts had been considered a rising star at ABC.

More data when available.

Prayers

[PilloryHillary]

Wow, I am sorry to hear that. Prayers for her recovery.

[Bahbah]

I’m so sorry to hear this. Having caught it early, there is much hope for a good outcome.

Prayers for a restoration to good health.

[prairiebreeze]

Regardless of what I think of ABC, I’m sorry to read this woman is facing this difficulty in her life. I hope she can fully recover without recurrance.

>>>>Poor babies! Maybe God hates ABC

Stupid and uncouth.

Can’t stand GMA, I watch the first 10 min. to find out what the liberal talking points and attacks are for the day. With that being said however, my prayers are with Robin and all of her friends and family. I am so glad that she found it early and I know that her treatment will be successful and that this will just make her a stronger person. Trials tend to do that. And she does have a voice for the cause, urging regular exams and early detection.

Poor babies! Maybe God hates ABC.

That is an assinine thing to say, sir. This is not the daily KoS!!!

Jag!

[Long Island Pete]

Excellent reply even though you stole my thunder.

[Frank_Discussion]

Lout.

[Sue Perkick]

Prayers up. Wish her well.

[Sue Perkick]

Come on man, that’s not cool.

[em2vn]

Way out of bounds. Quit acting like a liberal.

Actually your remark is in keeping with our hate site reputation. Lanny Davis called FreeRepublic a hate website yesterday on O’Reilly. *Snort*

But seriously...prayers and best wishes for Ms. Roberts. I don’t like the hateful vitriol of ABC and the rest of the mainstream media, but breast cancer (or any other cancer for that matter) is not something I would wish on anyone.

[Blueflag]

What I find odd is the ‘routine ultrasound.’ My wife has never had, to my knowledge, a routine ultrasound as part of a yearly screening mammography. I had the **impression** the images were always created via X-ray since the images are always on film.

I am ready to be educated.

Prayers.

Lanny Davis called FreeRepublic a hate website yesterday on O’Reilly. *Snort*

I heard that, too. My first thought was "Lanny hasn't yet tangled with the Mods at FR!"

There simply is no comparison to be made of Free Republic and Daily Kos or Democrap Underground....

I actually like her. She's the most level headed one on the show. Of course anyone looks level headed next to Diane Sawyer.

[Coldwater Creek]

In case you have not noticed, it rains on the just and the unjust.

[Pablo64]

That's low. You should be ashamed.

Glad you weren't posting on the prayer thread when my wife had her breast cancer.
