It will require her to start chemotherapy and get a bone marrow transplant.
She says she will undergo chemo and a bone marrow transplant this year as “pretreatment” for the disease, which she says she has known about for several weeks. She says her sister is a great match for her. While she says she’ll miss a day here and there, she’ll remain on the air.
Roberts battled breast cancer five years ago.

Its good to know she has a possible match. Many people are unable to get one and the donor list is not as long as it could be. May God bless you Robin, you are one heck of a fighter. Wish her the best.
