Robin Roberts' Surgery a Success

"Good Morning America" co-host Robin Roberts successfully underwent surgery to treat breast cancer yesterday, and the 46-year-old GMA gabber is reportedly already home from the hospital. This past Tuesday, Roberts announced on-air that she was diagnosed with the disease, and revealed that GMA film critic Joel Siegel's battle with cancer prompted her to get checked out.

Her revelation resulted in an outpouring of support -- and an increase in women seeking mammograms and breast exams.

A rep for "Good Morning America" said that while her surgery was successful, doctors don't yet know the long-term impact.

38. BFD--One person had surgery for breast cancer. She isn't special. Thousands of women have this sort of surgery weekly. Do we publicize every flippin' one of them? Who TF cares?? Not me.

41. Why do you all feel the need to make negative comments. You must have way too much time on your hands. In addition, you probably don't have loving families that taught you not to be cruel. Maybe your turn will be next. How would you feel if your Mother, Sister, Grandmother, Cousin, Girfriend, Wife or your self had cancer? Maybe then you would show compassion,

42. To Robin:
You are brave and strong , I hope that you will get better and stay strong.
To naysayers and degenerates:
Noone that matters care about your nasty comments. You Need Jesus.

45. This news release reminded me that "Thank God" we live in a country that doesnt have socialized medicine otherwise Robin would have had to wait weeks, maybe months for the treatment she was blessed to receive quickly, that probably saved her life. You are in my prayers Robin, keep fighting the good fight!
