PRAISE REPORT: SUCCESSFUL SURGERY FOR BROADCASTER ROBIN ROBERTS

Surrounded by family, GMA anchor Robin Roberts underwent surgery Friday morning for early stage breast cancer in New York City.

"Robin's surgery was very successful today," a spokesperson for "Good Morning America reported "She has already left the hospital and is home resting.

The tests following her surgery take some time to process, so when we have more information we will update you. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for Robin at this time."

Roberts worked right up until the day before her surgery, signing off "Good Morning America" on Thursday with her usual "See ya tomorrow!"

The pleasant, easy-going Black morning show host announced that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer on Tuesday during the shows broadcast, holding Diane Sawyer's hand as she made the revelation.

Roberts also thanked the audience at home, saying, "To you, our viewers, please know that your thoughts and prayers very much sustain me as they always have each and every morning when I sit in the chair next to Diane [Sawyer] and say 'Good Morning America.' You have always been there for me ... and I love you back."

DARK NEWS FOR ROBIN ROBERTS

Good Morning America co-anchor Robin "Rockin'" Roberts announced today that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. "I never thought I'd be writing...I have breast cancer," she writes in a message posted on ABCNews.com.

According to Roberts, she performed what is suggested for all women over the age of 20 do: a self-breast exam every month. She found a lump and immediately went to a doctor the next day where it was determined that she has an early form of breast cancer.

"Hearing the doctor say those words out loud was surreal," Robert writes.

But the 46-year-old telejournalist is remaining upbeat. More than 250,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, but the survival rate has climbed thanks to increased education about the disease and early screenings to help catch it before it spreads.

As fans of our blogsite know, we kid around a lot, but cancer--of any kind--is no joke, so in the spirit of ultimate health and wellness, we wish and pray for the best for our sister.

Keep rockin' it Robin!
