I'll admit i cried a bit on this one..i rmembere when she went thru the breast cancer and treatment.. SENDIING YOUR PRAYERS GURL..
An emotional Robin Roberts announced on Monday that she has been diagnosed with a rare blood and bone-marrow disorder called MDS, and will undergo a bone marrow transplant.
Speaking on "Good Morning America" and writing on a blog post, Roberts said the disease was once called preleukemia, and is a complication from the treatment she received to beat breast cancer in 2007.
On the "GMA" website, Roberts wrote that, while there are some "scary" statistics about the disease, her doctors have told her she is young and fit enough to beat it.
Roberts made the announcement toward the end of Monday's "GMA," surrounded by her co-hosts and with former co-host Diane Sawyer (whom she called "my Thelma") in attendance.
"Sometimes treatment for cancer can lead to other serious medical issues and that's what I'm facing right now," she said. "The reason I am sharing this with everybody right now is because later today I begin what's known as pre-treatment."
