Robin Roberts is counting down to transplant time now.
In a new Robin's Journey
blog post she starts out sounding strong, writing, "Last Sunday to lift
my spirits I threw a little party at my apartment for my GMA
family. The next morning I walked through the hospital doors, with my
guardian angels -- mom & dad -- back together and blazing a trail
ahead of me."
But now the Good Morning America
co-anchor says that "the daily chemo/treatment caught up to me by the
weekend. My body is so weak but not my mind. YOU give me the courage to
keep going."
Today, she writes, is her last day of chemo before
her bone marrow transplant to treat her rare blood disorder,
myelodysplastic syndrome or MDS. "Wednesday is called a day of rest,
yay, right! The transplant is scheduled for Thursday morning. Bless you
& Onward!"
GMA notes that Roberts' doc will be on the show Thursday to explain what's happening.
