Roberts’ Story Sends Viewers to the Net

We mentioned yesterday about how Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts is telling her story about coping with chemotherapy. Roberts talked about it Thursday on GMA and with People magazine. By mid-afternoon Thursday, more than 700 people had commented on the story on ABCNews.com, more than 1,000 had sent email messages, the story had more than 50,000 page views, and more than 40,000 had watched the video diary.
