This isn’t really about the Sandwich Generation, but, I wanted to share this story (has sound) of how Good Morning, America’s Robin Roberts approached losing her hair to chemotherapy.
I thought it was inspiring, and, I wish her the best.

Whoever makes her wigs does a really good job. I wasn’t sure that she was wearing one.
I thought it was utterly inspiring as well.

Dear Robin,
You are both inspiring and beautiful. I am a breast cancer survivor of 4 years…AMEN… and don’t worry…your hair will grow back. We just don’t want to ever have the disease come back. Keep strong and you are ever in my prayers as I watch you each morning.
Best wishes,
Paulinr Jones
So Proud of you! Thanks for sharing your time with us, hair or no hair, wig or no wig.
Your smile is the greatest to share with each morning your on the air, with GMA.
Through this journey, many women have found strength to continue the battle by using “complementary” or “integrative” (NOT ‘alternative’) therapies. I run one such department in a hospital and teach the skill of “oncology massage” nationally. How about if you have a guest on your show that talks about “the OTHER journey through cancer?”
Hi Robin!

A dance teacher by trade and freelance write and author of a children’s book called Butterflies Are Special, I recently had a double masectomy due to a high family history and doing very well!

What brand of wig does Robin wear? Looks fabulous and natural. I’d like one just like it.
I MISSED THE PART OF THE SHOW ON APRIL 21 WHERE I GUESS SHE MADE HER ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT A “CHANGE”. TUNED IN TODAY, TUESDAY, APRIL 22 AND THERE SHE WAS WITH CLOSE CROPPED HEAD. I’M ASSUMING IT’S TO DO WITH SOME CANCER-RELATED TREATMENT AND WISH HER ALL OF GOD’S ANGELS TO BE WITH HER DURING THIS TIME.
AS ALWAYS, SHE LOOKS GREAT REGARDLESS OF WHAT’S ON HER HEAD!
Robin you are an inspirational woman who has touched my heart during your treatment. I love watching you and Diane on Good Morning America, you work great together.
I have a friend who is battling breast cancer and I use you as an example of being a survivor all the time.
You looked great with your wig and greater without your wig. Shows that you are a winner, in my book.
Robin I also Left of my hat and scarfs about a year ago and also this year afrer rediation. I’m glad your not hiding your Cancer. I started out with fase 4, 3 years ago and I’m still here. Dr. now says one year left. ? We’ll see where god is leading My. Thank You
Robin, I think you’re such a beautiful and inspiring woman, and love the way your “southern” realness shines. My sister has completed her chemo therapy and wishes to rid her wig (you inspired her on GMA). Can you give me the name of the product you are using to help your hair grow back so fast. Thank you.
