Robin Roberts thought she was dying

OHMYGOSSIP — Robin Roberts says she felt like she was dying” after her September bone marrow transplant. Robin, 52, underwent the transplant for a rare blood and bone marrow disorder called myelodysplastic syndrome.

“I couldn’t eat or drink,” she says. “I couldn’t even get out of bed.

“I was in a coma-like state. I truly felt I was slipping away … then I kept hearing my name.”

Five months later, Roberts, a breast cancer survivor, says she’s finally beginning to feel like her old self again.

“It’s an amazing feeling, each day feeling stronger,” she said.

Robin will return to Good Morning America on Feb. 20 and will be featured on a special edition of 20/20, airing Feb. 22.
