Meet a SURVIVOR @RobinRoberts #cancer

In May’s issue of WebMD magazine, Robin Roberts was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome after surviving breast cancer discusses recovery after having a bone marrow transplant.  Robin discuss about the time she felt herself slipping away.
Within the article, Robin shared that she felt herself slipping away,

One night post-transplant I was convinced I was slipping away and then I heard a voice saying my name over and over again. There was a nurse named Jenny, pleading with me not to slip away. I don’t know what would have happened if she wasn’t there.”

Robin expressed gratitude to her doctors and fans.

“They didn’t forget about me, and you don’t take that for granted. There isn’t a day that someone hasn’t said, ‘I prayed for you.
 I really appreciate that he [Dr. Sergio Giralt, MD, chief of the adult bone marrow transplantation service at Memorial Sloan Kettering] asked me if I would be part of a clinical trial,” she continued. :There’s a reason why, as a black woman, you’re told—which is hard to hear—that you’re less likely to get cancer but more likely to die from it.”
