Hero Of The Week: Robin Roberts

Robin Roberts is back to work on Good Morning America already after her surgery for breast cancer. She discovered a lump during a breast self-examination a couple of weeks ago and promptly went to the doctor. Her prognosis is really good since it was caught early. With any cancer, the earlier the detection, the higher the survival rate.

Robin represents an amalgam of people who, in our own lives, bravely face being diagnosed with the 'c' word. They endure chemotherapy, radiation, homeopathic remedies, experimental drugs and treatments, etc. They're all heroes.

May Robin and all those battling terminal illnesses be rewarded with good health for their courage and inspiration.
