**Wendy Rieger, news anchor at WRC-TV in D.C.,** [**told colleagues and viewers**](https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/wendy-rieger-im-just-gonna-go-back-to-chasing-life/2736302/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com)that she has “never felt luckier” following brain surgery to remove a tumor.

Rieger said her doctor in Pittsburgh was able to remove “99.99999%” of the cancer. Now, she’s getting treatment at Johns Hopkins, where she’s taking medicine that teaches her body how to attack her specific kind of cancer.

“I’m just gonna go back to chasing life,” she added.
