Robin Roberts Breast Cancer Surgery Called “Very Successful”
Robin Roberts, anchor of ABC’s “Good Morning America,” underwent breast cancer surgery on Friday and doctors are calling the operation “very successful.”
The surgery came just three days after Roberts, 46, told viewers of the morning show that she had been diagnosed with cancer.
ABC spokeswoman Bridgette Maney issued a statement following Friday’s surgery stating “The tests following her surgery take some time to process, so when we have more information we will update you. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for Robin.”
Roberts, scheduled to be a keynote speaker at the Aug. 29 Pink Heart fundraiser for cancer patients, told Mississippi’s Sun Herald newspaper “I work for a company that says 'Just whatever you need,' and I'm grateful. But that just is not the way it is for everyone. It shouldn't be a privilege I have; it should be everyone's right.”
