Coming Back in Cleveland

It’s nice you have some really good news to share….

WEWS Reporter Olivia Fecteau is slated to return to the station in October.

Back in October of last year, Fecteau started not feeling well and was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia.

Fecteau said her life, as she knew it, changed when she received the diagnosis, but her approach to life did not change.

“She has weighed the risks and the benefits with a very cool, calculated mind, having not been swayed by emotions, although, I can imagine how stressful this is,” said her doctor Sudipto Mukherjee.

She began the intensive treatment immediately- undergoing months of chemotherapy, spine punctures, steroids, bone marrow biopsies, and she just completed cranial radiation.

“My doctors were like, actually, there’s one more thing we are going to do prophylactic cranial radiation, so full brain radiation because if my type of cancer comes back it’s really hard to treat, so they try to prevent it by sterilizing your brain,” Olivia said.

The great news is that Fecteau took on cancer and kicked its ass!

She is scheduled to return to work on October 4th.

Great news indeed.
