The illness can prevent the human bone marrow to work properly and it can bring a serious complication just like of any cancer patients can experience. The 51-year-old TV personality is now facing a very complicated health disorders were she need to address before her work. She will probably leave her television program for a while to keep her self safe from a possible danger.

Furthermore, the anchor noted that she is about to receive a bone marrow transplant few months from now and within this year coming from her own sister. However, it was a risky procedure that can put her in peril and the number of patient that can survive is pretty low.

She will be missed by her fans and followers in Good Morning America for few months but she need to take that risky operation for her goodness. Hope people will offer their prayers and supports for Robin for her upcoming new battle.
