Roberts was joined in the studio for the announcement by her sister, who will donate the bone marrow. The 51-year-old newsreader told co-anchors George Stephanopoulos and Josh Elliott that her doctors believe she can make a full recovery and stressed that she will continue hosting GMA at least until the surgery. &amp;quot;I want to be here... I don&amp;#039;t have to be here. I want to be here while I can,&amp;quot; Roberts told viewers.
