ABC News reports that following Thursday's show, Roberts will fly home to Mississippi to be with her ailing 88-year-old mother and the rest of her family, who live in an area impacted by Hurricane Isaac.
Roberts had originally requested time off to seek treatment for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). She will begin her final preparations for a bone marrow transplant next week as planned. Her sister Sally Ann will act as the donor.
