7/31: GMA’s Robin Roberts has breast cancer
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
“Good Morning America” host Robin Roberts, who worked as a morning co-host at V-103 and a WAGA-TV sports broadcaster in the 1980s, announced today that she has breast cancer but she said she caught it early.
“I will have surgery on Friday, begin treatment and move forward as millions of people do when they hear this,” Ms. Roberts said, noting that she, like 80 percent of the 250,000 women diagnosed with breast cancer every year, has no history of the disease in her family.
I interviewed Roberts (above) when she came into town April for a book signing at the Margaret Mitchell House. She was unmistakably gracous and conversational.
Diane Sawyer today used Roberts’ recently published book about seven rules to live by to wrap up the segment.
“The woman who gave us seven rules for our lives has demonstrated every one of them for us through this and more to come,” said Sawyer.
