'What a thrill to be back': Robin Roberts returns to Good Morning America set for first time since surgery for test run

Robin Roberts returned to the set of Good Morning America on Thursday for the first time since her bone marrow transplant.
The 51-year-old, who had a bone marrow transplant to treat a rare blood disorder on September 20, arrived at the studio at 5am for an off-camera test run to determine if she is physically ready to start work again.

'What a thrill to be back at GMA's Times Square Studio this morning and see the best folks in the world, my GMA family,' Roberts said.
'I can't wait to get back to the anchor chair in a few weeks.'
The host, who lost her hair as a result of treatment, was photographed flashing a big smile while giving the thumbs up.
Last week, Roberts explained that her doctor had approved a series of 'dry runs' to see how her body copes.
'My doctors want me to see how many people I actually come in contact with,' Roberts said.
'How my body reacts to the stimulation, that's code word for stress, of being in the studio environment.'
She added: 'My skin is very sensitive and so we have to see how it reacts to the studio lights. My vision is still a little blurry from the treatment. All of this is getting better day by day so that is the next step.'
Roberts was diagnosed with MDS - or myelodysplastic syndrome - last year.

Her sister Sally-Ann was a match and donated cells which were instrumental in her recovery.
Robin has openly shared her battle with the disease with viewers through tweets, phone calls and live-cross interviews on GMA over the last few months.
She recently thanked her fans for their support, saying: 'GMA viewers - your messages, prayers and well wishes have given me an enormous amount of strength and hope.'
