Roberts was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 but went into remission after having treatment.
She has also battled a rare blood disorder called myelodysplastic syndrome that she contracted as a complication of chemotherapy.
Roberts took a leave of absence from GMA in 2012 to undergo treatment.
The TV personality revealed that writing her book helped her come to terms with the ups and downs she and Laign had been experiencing.
Roberts said: "I was struggling, and then I was thinking, 'Robin, you have this book. You're talking to people about their valleys and how to get out of it, and so, why don't you just actually listen to your own words?"
"I can handle this. I have the strength. I've been through this. I can help Amber. She's helping me, so I turned 'Why me?' into 'Why not me?'"
