BOSTON -- ABC News anchor Robin Roberts will be accompanying first lady Laura Bush to the Middle East next week in an effort to raise breast cancer awareness in countries where women are often afraid to ask for help if they're battling the disease.

Roberts, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, will be reporting live from the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia on "Good Morning America," as she speaks with women there dealing with breast cancer and who have lost loved ones to the disease.

Roberts will also sit down for an in-depth interview with Laura Bush about her diplomatic mission to the region.

In the exclusive Web interview video, above, Roberts discusses the trip, their goals, and her own medical treatment with WCVB's Kelley Tuthill, who has also been undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
