Breast cancer champion, anchor departs Early Show

Rene Syler, member of the four-person anchor team on the CBS' morning news program The Early Show, will leave her post just before Christmas.

Syler says she will leave the show to pursue other media interests and to promote her new book -- Good Enough Mother -- that will be published next year. And she will undoubtedly continue raising awareness about breast cancer.

After doctors told Syler she had an increased risk of developing breast cancer since both her mother and father have had the disease, she kept a video diary of her experience for a story that won the 2004 Gracie Allen award. She has long been a breast cancer champion. But her personal experience with the illness upped her commitment to the cause.

Syler's final broadcast will be on December 22.
