Roberts to undergo surgey for Breast Cancer

I know this story is a bit old, but i kind of felt obligated in a sense to write something about it. Former Espn/ABC sports alumn and current ''GOOD MORNING AMERICA!'' Co- anchor Robin Roberts announced on this morning's telecast that she has Breast Cancer. Appearently Roberts knew for a short while after the GMA tribute segment of late movie critic Joel Siegel who passed away this June due to complications of colon cancer. She along with the support of co- anchor Diane Sawyer by her side, announced to the millions of viewers of her prognosis. Now i realize that here in the Yard we can talk about anything. I chose to speak on this not because i did/still do respect Robin for all her contributions she has made to the sports world as an athlete and acclaimed journalist, but for being brave enough to let the world now of her status. She stated on today's broadcast:'' Once you are diagnosed, you are a survivor!'' I guess this means in retrospect to fight the good fight and not to give up all together. There are hundreds of thousands of ''fighters'' like Robin out there who have survived and who have unfortunately lost their fight to the monster called Cancer. My aunt has been Cancer free ten years and her husband is fighting right now to win his battle. Roberts will undergo surgery on friday to catch the cancer which is in its early stage right now. I know that maybe some of you don't care for all this that i'm writing and some of you might a bit. But i just kind of felt that i had to speak upon this not because it is some how sports related to some extent, but to make and cause awareness.So with this in mind, i would like to wish all the ''fighters'' across the world who are fighting to be strong and stay positive and to pray for the loved ones and the family/friends who lost their fight. Thanks. PEACE.
