Robin Roberts plans to return to anchoring ABC's Good Morning America in "a matter of weeks, not months" she announced during a video appearance on GMA Monday.

Roberts, who received a bone marrow transplant last September, said her most recent test showed no sign of abnormality, which means she can begin the process of returning to the morning show. She will do a "dry run" next week, going through hair and makeup every morning but staying off-air.

"After I go through this dry run my doctors will sit down with me again and we'll evaluate where I am," Roberts said. "I should be back sometime in February. Now I have a date in mind that's very personal and very important to me but I will ultimately listen to, of course, what my doctors say and, course, we have to remember we're in the height of flu season. There's a lot of factors still."

Roberts last hosted GMA on Aug. 30.
