Former Orlando Anchor is Back in Cancer Fight

Former WESH Anchor Wendy Chioji is one of the strongest most inspiring people on the planet.

Wendy has the ability to find good news in some of the worst news you can imagine.

Chioji has looked cancer straight in the eye and kicked it's ass. When the cancer returned, Wendy just took it on like a heavyweight champ going into the next round.

Yesterday, Wendy took to her blog and broke the sad news that cancer has once again returned and this time it does not look good. She's hoping that she can get into a clinical trial called PD-1 or PD-L1 and save her life. 

Chioji writes: Three weeks ago, everything was fine. Today, I’m looking for a Hail Mary pass. I’d say this is a fairly  graphic illustration of the fact that you have to live EVERY day like it could be your last. Luckily, I’ve been doing that for a while. And I feel pretty good… no REALLY good, that I’ll get into a trial for a drug that will extend my life AND let me keep my hair.

I have been a huge advocate of clinical trials for more than a decade. Now, I’m hoping it’ll be a clinical trial that saves my life. Not to be morbid, but at this point, it looks like that’s all that will. I am filled with optimism. And as you know, attitude is everything. Livestrong.

God bless Wendy!
