If you plan to tune in to Good Morning America on Monday, you'll see Robin Roberts looking back at you. The co-anchor, 46, expects to back at work on August 13, just 10 days after surgery for breast cancer.

Roberts, who was just recently diagnosed with breast cancer after finding a lump during a self-exam, is still waiting for the test results that will determine her course of therapy. Right now, though, she feels great and looks forward to returning to work alongside Diane Sawyer.

ABCs Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts has heart. You can read all about it in her article titled A Heart in the Right Place in the July 2007 issue of Ladies' Home Journal -- and her book From the Heart. She writes about her job, about how she was never the most brilliant person to work alongside Charles Gibson and Diane Sawyer but how she tends to put herself in the position for things to happen.

"Often, the person who catches the break is the one standing there with her arms outstretched at the right moment," she says. There she was, arms outstretched. And here she is, high atop her career ladder.

Roberts also writes about her strong military family, her athletic nature -- she played basketball in high school and college -- and about facing her fears.

On the anniversary of ABC News anchor Peter Jennings lung cancer death, Diane Sawyer spoke with medical editor Dr. Timothy Johnson about the impact Jennings death had for smokers. He indicated that while they do not have exact numbers, ABC was overwhelmed with telephone calls and emails from smokers asking for help or saying they were going to quit smoking as a result of the loss of Jennings.

There are 48 million smokers in the US, and 40 percent have tried to quit smoking. According to Dr. Johnson, only 20 percent of smokers who try to quit make use of aids available to help them -- patches, gum, antidepressants -- and only 5 percent of smokers are able to quit long term.

When Sawyer asked what message Dr. Johnson felt Jennings would want to convey to smokers, he said that Jennings would say, "keep trying, no matter how many times you try and fail to quit, keep trying -- each time you do is one more chance to become successful at quitting for good."

Dr. Johnson said Jennings, who admitted he was a heavy smoker for years before quitting, was a fighter. Dr. Johnson said Jennings would tell everyone who smokes to keep fighting to quit. ABC News has made the video of the interview, One Year Later: The Impact of Peter Jennings' Death, available online.

In the second part of the two-part exclusive interview with ABC's Good Morning America Diane Sawyer, Sheryl Crow shares she is cancer-free and feeling great as a breast cancer survivor. The diagnosis of breast cancer came as a surprise as she is not a smoker and has no family history of the disease. She received enormous support from her family and friends during treatment, whom she refers to as "this incredible tribe of women." Before Dana Reeve died of lung cancer, she gave Crow advice on dealing with the emotional aspects of being a newly-diagnosed cancer patient and dealing with the recent separation from Lance Armstrong by telling her that the only way to go through grief was to grieve.

Crow talked about meditating and changing her diet. "I kind of went into a full-on Eskimo diet, where I ate a lot of salmon. In fact, I'm salmoned out of my brains ... and really green vegetables, just eating really clean, organic food. Listen, I haven't had a doughnut in I can't remember when."

Breast cancer forced Crow into an introspective place of self-realization in facing and overcoming fears -- and the wisdom that comes with that when she said she tried to at least address her fears and not be overcome by them. "The fear of things not always working out. You come to a point in your life where you realize it's not my job to prove to my parents or to my record label or to the world or to my lover that I matter. The fact is that you matter."

"It's not a good place to be concerned with always being right with everybody, always pleasing people, because ultimately you wind up betraying yourself a lot."

Crow shared that she sees her breast cancer diagnosis and being a cancer survivor as part of life's deepening experiences where obstacles are removed and opportunities come in.

Last Friday night, Crow joined the Dave Matthews Band in a concert at Fenway Park. But before she went onstage -- in part of giving back as a cancer survivor --  she made an unannounced surprise visit to Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to visit children with cancer at the Jimmy Fund Clinic.

The public liked the idea of Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong as a couple, and the media treated them pleasantly when covering them as a couple.

When the marriage was called off, not much was said about it other than announcing it had happened, and the public accepted that sometimes things just don't work out between two people.

However, when the news of Crow's breast cancer diagnosis broke, so soon after the breakup, speculation followed. Had one of the most famous cancer survivors walked out on Crow when the chips were down? It didn't make sense at the time that a man who has dedicated his life to improving the quality of life for cancer survivors would do that -- but since nothing was ever said one way or the other the rumors continued to lurk in the shadows between imagination and fact.

In a two-part exclusive interview with ABC's Good Morning America Diane Sawyer, Sheryl Crow opens up about the breakup with Lance Armstrong and being diagnosed with breast cancer. After being told she had breast cancer, Lance Armstrong was one of the first people she contacted. He was on a solo trip from Lake Tahoe to Oregon. He was about to turn around and return to LA to be with Crow and she told him she did not want him to do that for her. And so, for the personal reasons why the relationship did not work out is a private matter between two good people who insist they still love each other, and past that it should not be our business -- but as Crow makes clear -- Armstrong did not abandon her.

You can watch video clips of the television interview online here, and read the interview in print here. The most inspiring moment came when Crow said,

"People go through challenging moments of losing people and of having their life threatened from illness and real grief. But they get through it. And that's the testament to the human spirit and it's -- we are fragile, but we also are divine."

Part two: Sheryl Crow adopts Eskimo diet to fight breast cancer.

In an exclusive interview with ABC Good Morning America's Diane Sawyer, Sheryl Crow talks intimately about the heartbreak and anguish she was forced to deal with when diagnosed with breast cancer -- and at the same time -- the break up of her engagement to be married to Lance Armstrong.

When the subject of the break up with seven-time Tour de France champion Armstrong was brought into the conversation, and the rumor the end of the relationship coincided with her breast cancer diagnosis, Crow says,

"No. No. No, it was really, I mean, really difficult, you know, just really difficult for both of us. I'm not angry. I mean, honestly, I look at it, and I just know that I can't be angry at Lance for being who he is. You know, he's a great person." Armstrong is a testicular cancer survivor.

Crow talks about the initial diagnosis of breast cancer, the subsequent lumpectomy and the many tears. The exclusive interview will air on Thursday, July 6 and Friday, July 7. To watch a preview video of the ABC Good Morning America interview, go here.
