Robin Roberts opens up about the emotions she was going through when she learned of her longtime partner, Amber Laign’s breast cancer diagnosis.
“I didn't get terrible [emotional] till the end [of the video] about Amber," Roberts said, fighting back tears, of the emotional video she posted on Instagram revealing Laign's diagnosis.
Roberts -- who was previously diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 and myelodysplastic syndrome, a bone marrow disease, in 2012 -- went on to share how watching Laign go through her health struggles is different than when she was dealing with her own journey. "Up until that point, when you are the patient going through it, you've got on your armor, and I'm an athlete at heart and my doctors are my coaches and I had a game plan, the chemotherapy, the treatment," the 61-year-old newswoman explained. "When your loved one is going through it, you feel so helpless."
"And I have been more emotional about her than I was my two times combined," Roberts admitted. "But God is good and it's been challenging.""My sweet Amber wanted me to tell you something that she’s been facing. At the end of last year, Amber was diagnosed with breast cancer," Roberts said of her partner of more than 15 years."She had surgery last month, and this morning will begin chemotherapy. Thankfully, the prognosis is good.
