Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts has revealed that her bone marrow transplant, which she underwent two weeks ago, appears to have been successful.

The procedure, which saw donor stem cells from her sister Sally Ann injected into her body, took just five minutes, and according to the 51-year-old, who wrote fans an update from her hospital in New York City this morning, her sister's cells 'feel right at home' in her body.

'My blood counts are GREAT,' she wrote on herGMA blog, after being hospitalized or 25 days now. 'It's an answer to so many prayers'.

'I have had some extremely painful days and its still difficult for me to eat because of all the chemo. [But] I continue to learn so much on this journey, especially when it comes to true friendship and love.
