WSB-TV news reporter and anchor JaQuitta Williams has been diagnosed with breast cancer and will undergo surgery later this week, the station says.

According to the station's Web site, "the prognosis is encouraging."

Williams, who has been at WSB since 2004, will be writing a blog on wsbtv.com during her recovery.

"She will post the first edition on Wednesday, just hours after her surgery," the Web site said.

The Augusta native, who attended Savannah State College, worked at stations in Tennessee and the Carolinas before joining WSB, where she is a reporter and weekend news anchor.

A colleague of Williams', longtime WSB anchor Monica Pearson, underwent a lumpectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer in October 1998.

Earlier this month, "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts, who worked at Atlanta's WAGA-TV in the late '80s, underwent breast cancer surgery. Roberts returned to work Monday, 10 days after her surgery.

I know breast cancer is researched..and researched...and money & time is put into..trying to find a cure.....But what if...it's something industry/computer/lights/office...releated??...like flursoucent lighting, cameras...or computer monitors...something as simple as our televisions.......were..rays..or heat penetrates through..affect the tissue...Heck, the darn mammogram..procedures is questionable...IMO...

SCIENCE...is very scarry...

I know they say it's diet, exercise...and gentics...but what if?? it's something else.....

I remember...the investigation in the speed detecting radar gun...that Highway Patrol uses..after several prostate (cancer) scares..and problems within the department...they linked it to this radar gun...and updated it...

Oh well...sad to hear this too E'

Particularly with these three women, none of them have children. Monica does, but her daughter is adopted. Maybe it's what the doctors have said about women who haven't birthed children having increased chances of breast cancer.

You know what.....my time keeper is going through breast cancer and she too doesn't have any children. She also returned to work after her surgery.

I think with Robin Roberts going through this we will see a SERIOUS increase in women getting tested.

And I will say it again MICROWAVE..........I swear they need to research this.....the folks in Africa and third world countries are NOT dying of cancer.

Jaquitta is strong...I believe she'll get through this just fine...IT IS, however QUITE a hard thing to face...I just got through this scare with my mom, and I THANK GOD it was a false alarm!! But my prayers are with her and her family.

Yeah Tee, microwaves, not just the oven either. Cel transmissions, we are being swiss cheesed by radio waves off all strengths. Ever put a cel phone near a speaker and hear the pattern of blips? Our home wireless network router is always on, the house alarm is wireless, that Onstar antenna in the car is right overhead, there are electromagnetic fields coming off the PCs, TVs... yikes!
