"After that amount of time, you wonder if you're going to be able to come back. To anybody who is on their medical leave right now, keep believing, keep moving, keep breathing."

The most effective therapy, if a compatible donor is found, is a bone marrow transplant. Roberts took a year-long leave of absence from the show in order to submit to the procedure and to fight her cancer.

A year later she was back at work, but the fight against cancer is only deemed won after an all-clear of five years. Roberts was delighted to share the news that she had indeed overtaken the 5 years cancer-free mark.

Many viewers were moved by her words, and she thanked her doctors for their support, their understanding and their wholehearted conviction that she would be victorious.

Roberts' treatment for her myelodysplastic syndrome was chronicled on GMA and earned the program a 2012 Peabody Award for the coverage entitled Robin's Journey. Roberts has been a popular member of the GMA host team sincev1995.
