"Your body and muscles have a memory of the way it was when you were sick and there are definitely times when I float back to that place.

"I had migraines a few weeks ago and I just went, 'Yeesh - no, please.'"

Kylie was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and was in recovery by 2006.

"My family read many of your e-mails while I was in surgery," said Roberts, who has been an anchor at "GMA" since 2005. "It brought them such comfort. My big sis, Sally-Ann, marked all the survivor stories with a big S."

She said her co-anchor, Diane Sawyer, had visited her in the hospital.

Roberts Says Cancer Surgery `Went Well'

"It all started a few weeks ago. We had gotten the news that our dear colleague and friend Joel Siegel had passed away and we began preparing for our special tribute show for him. I did a piece about Joel's courageous battle with cancer, reporting on the way my friend had lived his life and been such a successful advocate for the importance of early cancer screenings.

"That very night when I went to bed, I did a self breast exam and found something that women everywhere fear: I found a lump."

Today, she spoke with Diane Sawyer and said, "I will get up like everybody else, I will go to work, I'll say 'Good Morning America,' I will have my good days and bad days, so be kind to me on the message board when I've had my bad days and the hair goes."

GMA's Roberts: I Have Breast Cancer

She was first diagnosed in 1999 with stage III cancer. Over the past eight years she underwent several rounds of chemotherapy and many ups and downs in an effort to beat the cancer.

Last week, it was announced that her cancer was "back with a vengeance" and that she had been hospitalized. She entered hospice care and died on January 31st.

Her writing was often controversial. In a world of stiff political correctness, she wrote what she felt and made no apologies. She often skewered President Bush and members of his administration. President Bush made the following statement after her passing:

"I respected her convictions, her passionate belief in the power of words, and her ability to turn a phrase. She fought her illness with that same passion. Her quick wit and commitment to her beliefs will be missed."

A few years ago, she said:

"Keep fighting for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce."

No matter what your political beliefs, you would do well to be as fearless as Molly Ivins.
