It’s been a battle, but Robin Roberts is back!
The Good Morning America anchor announced earlier this week that she’s healthy enough to return to her five-day schedule after Labor Day. The news comes just one year since her diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome.
“I’m really at peace now. I’m not as frightened. I feel 90 percent of myself again, and that’s a great feeling,” she told PEOPLE at the 13th Annual USTA Serves Opening Night Gala on Monday.
“The day after Labor Day I’ll be back to a five-day a week schedule. I’m looking forward to it. I want to get back to my full life.”
Roberts also told reporters that she recently took a trip to Maui with her friends where she was able to play tennis for the first time since her diagnosis.
“In the hospital I had a picture of the beach in Maui and that was my motivation, so to have all my friends who loved me through this past year there was all I needed,” she said.
We wish Roberts all the best moving forward!
