ABC’s Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts goes bald on camera. Brave US news anchor shaved her head after loosing her hair to chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer.
Roberts underwent surgery in August to remove a lump, and returned to work later that month.
And when she started her chemotherapy treatment her hair began to fall out in large bunches. Therefore, she made the decision to shave her head. Well, she has made a good decision, she looks pretty even without any hairs on her head.
She said,
‘Emotionally, it was devastating and draining. And as so many who have traveled this path before me had encouraged, as hard as it was, I knew what I had to do. I shaved it all off.
You know everyone tells you to shave your head preemptively. To go ahead and do it before it starts falling out and I thought, no, not me, that’s not going to be me, because some chemotherapy patients don’t lose their hair.
But let me tell you, I’ve joined that choir. That’s a bit of advice I now preach, because when it starts to fall out, phew, that’s rough.
To wear a wig or not to wear a wig is a very personal decision for everyone who goes through this. This is my work, and I love my job, being part of your morning each day, but I never want to distract you from the story I’m reporting.’
Roberts plans to have radiation therapy after her chemotherapy is complete.
