"Good Morning America joyfully announced the  upcoming return of one of the nation&amp;#039;s favorite news anchors, Robin Roberts, on February 20, five months to the day since her successful bone marrow transplant. The news received a standing ovation in the studio. Roberts documented  her battle with breast cancer on Good Morning America back in 2007, motivating thousands to be checked for the disease. Last June, Roberts made another grim announcement when she revealed to viewers that she had been diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), a disease in which bone marrow fails to generate enough healthy blood cells. Nevertheless, Roberts assured all of us, &amp;quot;I will beat this.&amp;quot; Roberts gave a tearful interview describing how blessed she felt that her sister-who was a near-perfect bone marrow match-could give her &amp;quot;the gift of life.&amp;quot; Roberts left GMA on August 30 to focus on her recovery and has been chronicling her experience over the last few months to give viewers a glimpse of her painful yet uplifting journey. On September 21, the day after the completed  bone marrow transplant, GMA featured video of an exhausted Roberts looking frail smiling from ear to ear surrounded by loved ones, including fellow anchors Diane Sawyer and Sam Champion, reaffirming her faith in her ability to soldier on. After the procedure, friends and family even broke out into a rousing rendition of &amp;quot;Ain&amp;#039;t No Mountain High Enough.&amp;quot; Last month, doctors discovered no abnormalities in Roberts&amp;#039;s blood work and gave her the go-ahead to begin  test runs on the GMA set to see how her body would react to the stress of being back in a studio setting. Her co-workers are thrilled Roberts will be returning. Anchor Lara Spencer said excitedly this morning, &amp;quot;The countdown is now officially on.&amp;quot; Congratulations on a speedy recovery, Robin! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
