Robin Roberts has announced she will return to "Good Morning America" February 20.

She will also talk about her health journey following a bone marrow transplant to treat the rare blood disorder myelodysplastic syndrome on "20/20" at 9 p.m. February 22.

The official announcement came on the ABC morning show Wednesday after her latest tests showed no abnormalities and her doctors cleared her to return to work, reported "GMA's" website.

"Hallelujah!," Roberts blogged in a personal note posted on gma.yahoo.com. "After seeing my doctor again this week I now know when I can return to the anchor chair. February 20th, which will be exactly 5 months since my bone marrow transplant.

"I'm excited to re-join my wonderful 'GMA' family. I'm also looking forward to thanking YOU ... for your many prayers and well wishes. Your compassion has been an enormous source of comfort to me and my family.
“I'm heading to the beach for the next week to reflect and give thanks for my many blessings.

"Light Love Power Presence...XO"

In July, the 52 year old told viewers she had MDS, a blood and bone marrow disease. She started an extended medical leave August 30 and spent 30 days in the hospital following transplant.

She has been participating in several "dry runs" on set last month to see how her body handles the stress of contact with others, the intense lighting and those early morning wakeup calls, reported abcnews.com.

"Good Morning America" airs 7-9 a.m. weekdays on ABC, channel 8.
