Good Morning America announced anchor Robin Roberts' return date to the program on Thursday.

Roberts will return on February 20: five months to the day since she underwent a bone marrow transplant to treat myelodysplastic syndrome or MDS, a rare blood disorder.

When the news was announced, everyone in the studio gave the news a standing ovation.

Roberts posted a note saying she is "excited to re-join my wonderful 'GMA' family. I'm also looking forward to thanking YOU ... for your many prayers and well wishes. Your compassion has been an enormous source of comfort to me and my family."

Take a look at the triumphant video below:
