Robin Roberts, an anchor on ABC’s “Good Morning America” has announced that she has breast cancer. This announcement comes on the heels of the death of GMA’s film critic Joel Siegel from colon cancer about a month ago. Ugh.

In a stunner of an announcement, GMA coanchor Robin Roberts announced Tuesday 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.

“It all started a few weeks ago. We had gotten the news that our dear colleague and friend Joel Siegel had passed away and we began preparing for our special tribute show for him. I did a piece about Joel’s courageous battle with cancer, reporting on the way my friend had lived his life and been such a successful advocate for the importance of early cancer screenings.

Robin goes on to write that this inspired her to do a self exam and she found a lump. Which turned out to be cancerous. She will undergo surgery on Friday and then begin a course of treatment. We’re with you, Robin! Stay strong!

Yeah, still no snark. Who do you think I am - Dolores Umbridge?
