"Good Morning America's" Robin Roberts is battling another health scare.
The news anchor has been absent from "GMA" all week due to a nasty infection she contracted in Key West.
Roberts shared her condolences on Facebook about the Boston bombing, where she also explained why she was unable to cover the important, yet tragic story.
"Last week, in the middle of my Key West vacation, I began not to feel well. Nothing serious, just under the weather. I contacted my doctors and flew back to NYC," she revealed. "They felt it best to admit me into the hospital for a few days. Seems my young immune system needed a little boost to fight off 'opportunistic infections.'"
Back in February, the 52-year-old was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder, myelodysplastic syndrome, and underwent surgery. Robin took a six-month leave to recover.
Yet, the news anchor is adamant that the infection is not the result of pushing herself too hard post-surgery.
"It's extremely common, post bone marrow transplant, to have complications. I'm blessed that mine have not been severe," she posted. "I'm feeling MUCH better, and will relax at home for the rest of the week. I'll be back on GMA next week . . . as my sweet momma would say: 'Good Lord willing, and the creek don't rise!' Miss you and bless you."
We hope Roberts has a speedy recovery!
