Robin Roberts has breast cancer

I cannot figure out how to write directly to Robin, so i am posting a note to this blog in the hopes that she will see it. If I could speak to Robin I would ask her to PLEASE read the book called "Beating Cancer with Nutrition" by Patrick Quillin, PhD, RD, CNS before she undergoes chemotherapy/radiation. I am almost finished reading this book, and based on the information in it, and other research I have done, there is no doubt that if I developed cancer, I would absolutely follow the advice of the Cancer Treatment Centers of America, of which Dr. Quillen is Director of Nutrition. I would never undergo chemotherapy or radiation WITHOUT the additional benefit of the correct nutrition to protect all of my good cells from the treatments, and help the chemo/radiation to only destroy the cancer cells. I would implore anyone with cancer or anyone without cancer to read this book in order to understand the importance of how nutrition plays a huge role in why we develop cancer in our bodies, and how it can help to reverse cancer cells once they have developed. I hope that one day, in this world where cancer seems like an epidemic, that this information will be made more readily available to everyone, so that so many people will not have to die from this horrible condition.

I ordered and received your book "From The Heart", Seven Rules to Live By today. I started reading it today and could not put it down. You are such an inspirational lady and I am gladly sharing this book with all I know. I know with your wonderful outlook and your faith, family and friends you will get thru this latest health challenge. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Dee Dorr

Hi Robin, just heard your news. I have a firm faith that you will do fine - my daughter is a breast cancer survivor and I had nothing but faith in her recovery and I have nothing but faith in yours. God Bless You.

Dear Robin,

We will never forget you for you are such a Classy Lady. Yes, you could have kept your Breast Cancer a secret, but you chose not to. You have already demonstrated much courage and Faith and that tells me you will pull through this with "Flying Colors". Stay positive and God Bless you always ! !

Robin, Aline and I have been watching you as long as you have been on television. It was my pleasure to know your father and your mother. For 22 years I was the superintendent of schools for the Clinton (Mississilppi) School District, and I attended meetings with them for several years. As you know, your father was very active in the Mississippi School Boards Association and your mother was one of the first members of the State Board of Education of Mississippi. We know that they taught you how to deal with adversity with faith, strength, and tenacity. We have you on our prayer list and look forward to seeing you on GMA for many years to come.

God bless you, Robin. I know you will be o.k.

Robin,

I've been watching you for years on Good Morning America. I feel like I know you well, so when I heard the news today I felt so bad for you. I'm glad you caught this early, though. You're a tough cookie. You'll be just fine. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I don't watch GMA, but I too was a fan of hers when she was on ESPN. She always seemed a consummate professional.

Here's hoping that they did catch it early enough and her prognosis is favorable.

Robin is a class act -- I've been a fan since her days at ESPN.

Best wishes to her and her loved ones.
