BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) – “Good Morning America” anchor Robin Roberts is planning to take a medical leave around the end of August for her bone marrow transplant.
But during her absence from the ABC morning show, she’ll be getting a little help from her friends, she said Thursday.
Roberts listed Barbara Walters, Diane Sawyer and Katie Couric among her “wonderful, wonderful friends at ABC News” who will be subbing for her. Others mentioned: talk-show host Kelly Ripa and panelists from the ABC talk show “The View.”
Roberts announced last month that she has MDS, a blood and bone marrow disease once known as preleukemia.
