The next several days will be very telling on how Robin Robert's recovery will go. Read on for ALL the details.
Good Morning America host,
Robin Roberts, successfully underwent a bone marrow transplant on Sept. 20th, but the battle
against MDS isn't over yet. The upcoming days are critical for successfully beating
the rare blood disease. "She's in a time frame now where the stem cells from the donor start to grow in. The earliest is 10 days and it could take up to 15 days,"
Andrew Pecora, vice president of cancer services at Hackensack University Medical Center, tells the
New York Post. "This is the crucial time to see whether the stem cells grow in or not." Robin received a transfusion, where the doctor injected millions of her bone marrow donor, sister
Sally-Ann's stem cells into Robin. The process took just five minutes. Doctors are now just waiting
for the cells to grow in. "Once the cells grow in, she's overcome the first set of hurdles," Andrew tells
The Post. Robin has taken time off from the GMA couch to recover, but we hope she'll be back very soon! What do YOU think,
