Robin Roberts will return to anchor ABC News' Good Morning America on Feb. 20, five months after receiving a bone marrow transplant to treat myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

Roberts last hosted GMA on Aug. 30. Last month, she began doing dry runs in the studio to test the lights on her skin and re-adjust to the early wake-up calls.

GMA plans to spotlight stories of other people with MDS in the weeks before her return. Roberts will also share her story on a special edition of 20/20 on Feb. 22.
