While Robin Roberts overcame her breast cancer diagnosis, everyone's journey is different. Roberts even said in her Instagram video announcing her partner's diagnosis, "We know many, many are facing cancer and other challenges — like my mama said, 'Everybody's got something.'" And it seems Amber Laign's chemotherapy treatment isn't going as planned.
Roberts revealed to Entertainment Tonight that Laign has had to suspend her chemotherapy. The anchor explained, "She's had some complications with the chemotherapy." However, Laign's doctors are "working it out" and Roberts said, "The prognosis is still very good." During this difficult time, it's a good thing that Laign has Roberts, who has been through this, by her side.
When things weren't going well, Roberts told Laign that, "as most people [who] have gone through cancer, this happens." And while the treatments are suspended for now, Roberts also revealed that Laign's "spirits have been lifted." Roberts even recently posted an adorable message for Easter on Instagram, saying, "Sweet Amber & I wishing you and all you hold close to your heart peace & joy this blessed Sunday."
