Wendy Rieger, news anchor at WRC-TV in D.C., told colleagues and viewers 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.
