Robin Roberts is one strong woman, but even she had a hard time processing her longtime partner, Amber Laign's, breast cancer diagnosis. During her April 12 interview with Tamron Hall, Roberts opened up about how she dealt with the news, and how she's doing now. “I didn't get terrible [emotional] till the end [of the video] about Amber," Roberts said, fighting back tears, of the emotional video she posted on Instagram revealing Laign's diagnosis.Roberts -- who was previously diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 and myelodysplastic syndrome, a bone marrow disease, in 2012 — went on to share how watching Laign go through her health struggles is different than when she was dealing with her own journey.«Up until that point, when you are the patient going through it, you've got on your armor, and I'm an athlete at heart and my doctors are my coaches and I had a game plan, the chemotherapy, the treatment,» the 61-year-old newswoman explained. «When your loved one is going through it, you feel so helpless.»«And I have been more emotional about her than I was my two times combined,» Roberts admitted. «But God is good and it's been challenging.»Roberts shared news of Laign's diagnosis alongside an emotional video on Instagram in February.«My sweet Amber wanted me to tell you something that she’s been facing. At the end of last year, Amber was diagnosed with breast cancer,» Roberts said of her partner of more than 15 years.
‘My mum got her all clear – then helped me beat the same breast cancer’

Lorraine, 37, who lives in Hilton, Derbyshire, with her husband Steve, 38, and sons George, 12, Henry, three, and Alexander, two, shares her story... "This Mother’s Day will be extra special for me and my mum, Denise. We’ll be able to share a family lunch and put the difficulties of the past few years behind us.
I’m lucky to have a mum who knows exactly what to say when I’m feeling low. It’s not just because she’s my mum but because she knows exactly what I’m going through – both of us were diagnosed with the same cancer in the exact same spot in our left breasts. I hadn’t long had my second son, Henry, and was busy making the final arrangements for my wedding to Steve in June 2019 when Mum called with her devastating news – a routine mammogram had picked up a tumour.
It was an aggressive form of cancer called triple negative and it came as a real shock to the family. But she’s a positive person and she faced her treatment head-on, while still finding time to help me with the wedding preparations the following month. Mum was still able to come to the wedding despite having only just had surgery to remove the tumour, which was such a relief to us both.There were difficult moments, especially when she lost her hair because of the chemo.
But she got through the treatment and we were all thrilled when she was given the all-clear in May 2020. By then I’d had my third son, Alexander, who was born two months earlier. Everything was going well but there was a problem when I tried to breastfeed.
