Robin Roberts' Surgery a Success

Posted Aug 4th 2007 11:04AM by TMZ Staff

"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.

76. Robin, I pray that everything will be fine. Just keep your faith in God and remember he has a plan for all of us. What happened to you has really made me think, I am supposed to have a mamogram every 6months and I have not had one in over 5yrs. I guess that was really stupid of me but some times I just don't want to know my results. I am so glad that you have not done what i have. My God Bless you and your family. cindy

79. You have cared and wished your viewers the best for so many years, we can never repay you on what all you have nourished us with . We felt your hurt during Katrina and cried with you when you could barely hold yourself together. The time is here for us to be there for you as you have always done for us - thank you Robin for all you have given us - hope, courage, faith and the indefinite strength of love. God bless you and your family. I have no doubt you will be fine!! Your strength for life is ongoing!

81. Brit: Since God is all powerful, he gives cancer to those who deserve it for their sins. He gives terminal diseases to children if he knows when they grow up they will become evil, so he prevents that from happening by killing them young. He sent AIDS to kill all the blacks and homoss as a punishment for their abominations. It's all good. Praise the Lord.

83. You people who think lesbians are nice seem to forget that once Rosie ODonnell pretended she was nice and then the real Rosie surfaced and everybody knows now how vicious those people really are.

86. #81: Get Real--If your "logic" holds true, then how did God come to skip you? You really are a twisted piece of trash.

#85: Straight Guy--I suspect you're as "straight" as the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Why do I have this feeling that your mind is so crooked, when you die they'll have to screw you into thge ground.
