Good on you Robin, thought this was a great positive story to share.

Homecoming queen!
Robin Roberts returned
to the comfort of her New York home on Wednesday -- 30 days after
checking into a hospital, and 21 days after she received a bone marrow
transplant to treat MDS, a rare blood disorder.
"Home Sweet Home. That has never had quite so much meaning before," the "Good Morning America" anchor, 51, wrote on her blog,
which also featured photos of Roberts exiting the hospital with a face
mask and protective gloves, and relaxing on her couch and gazing out the
window.
To combat her MDS,
doctors transplanted bone marrow donated by the veteran journalist's
sister, Sally-Ann. "My doctors tell me her cells are making themselves
right at home and with the grace of God, I pray that they will continue
to do so," Roberts writes.
But,
she points out, "This doesn’t mean that my journey is over. Far from
it." The star's "GMA" hiatus will continue "until I'm given the all
clear, but sleeping in my own bed feels like a big victory. My doctors
will be monitoring me closely and I will still be at the hospital
regularly to make sure we’re on the right track."
Thanking
her "amazing medical team," Roberts also acknowledges the support of
her fans. "I know it is your prayers and warm thoughts that have gotten
me this far. I truly feel them each and every day. I humbly ask that
you please continue to send them until you see me back at the GMA anchor
desk and I promise to send them right back at ya."
She promises: "Each day I get stronger and stronger ... This too really shall pass."
