As the host of Surviving & Thriving, Wendy Chioji is typically the person sharing inspirational stories with you. In our latest episode, we’re turning the tables on her for a bit. Wendy herself is one of the most inspirational survivors we know. We’ve shared her story for years, from her first battle with breast cancer to her most recent battle with a rare form of cancer called thymic carcinoma, for which she had surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy only to see it reappear.

When the standard treatment options failed, doctors recommended clinical trials and that’s been an adventure. On the latest episode of Surviving & Thriving, Wendy chats with Growing Bolder CEO and host Marc Middleton about her latest updates, including details on how she actually got kicked out of her first clinical trial. Find out where her treatment plans stand now and how it’s affecting her passions for fitness and travel.

Watch Wendy’s story and much more in an all-new episode of the Emmy-nominated Surviving & Thriving, airing Saturday, Sept. 26 at 1 p.m. on WKMG News 6. Surviving & Thriving is produced by Growing Bolder and presented by Florida Hospital.
