The Huffington Post reports [5] that she'll be returning within weeks. In her announcement, she also explained how she'll ease back into the rigorous schedule and admitted the one part of the comeback she's not looking forward to: the early-morning alarm clock:
Roberts announced her diagnosis of MDS [6], a rare blood and bone marrow disorder, in June. She took medical leave [7] in September to undergo a bone marrow transplant. She has kept viewers abreast of her recovery journey through video messages that have appeared on "GMA."

Roberts will wake up at 4:00 a.m., head to the studio and sit for make up, but will not immediately appear on air.
