GMA's Robin Roberts was there for her co-star during a difficult health crisis that also impacted her
October 14, 2022 - 17:00 BST Hanna Fillingham Robin Roberts is a much-loved member of Good Morning America and is a familiar face for many who wake up to the morning news program during the week. It's been well documented that the former sports broadcaster battled breast cancer, and she often uses her platform to raise awareness of the disease.And it's not just her fans that she has helped, but her co-stars too.
"She [Robin Roberts] said: you've got this. And it's amazing what those words mean in those moments to hear 'you've got this'. And to see someone who went through not just once, but twice, and was standing there vibrant and, beautiful and strong and, and about to go interview the Pope. She went on to relive the moment Robin convinced her to get her mammogram."I wasn't planning on getting my mammogram until I was 50, because that's what the US preventive task force tells us, right? If you're a woman of average risk, meaning you have no family history, you should wait until you're 50. So I thought, Why would I do it in front of 5 million people? Seems strange.
"She goes, Oh, you're the one they picked. I was like, Right, exactly. Why me? And I explained to her that I had no connection to breast cancer whatsoever, and it just felt false."She continued:"And she looked at me and she said, You know what? I know exactly why you're the one who we chose because you think cancer can't happen to you, and I'm sure you're fine, but that's exactly what we're trying to explain to women, that anybody is susceptible.
