Health

In 2005, news broke regarding Wendy's state of health. She discovered a lump in her left breast after undergoing a breast cancer diagnosis. When Wendy became aware of her situation, she fears sharing her cancer story with the media. Wendy's first impulse was to ignore the issue.

She was occupied by shooting The Greatest Canadian, CBC's popular series, and thus, considered it a false alarm. Her husband, Liam, could not rest until Wendy had sought consultation from a physician about her health. As a result, Wendy went for a mammogram, and later on, an ultrasound. Wendy was also forced to undergo a biopsy. After some days, a call Wendy received informed her of her condition. Being stunned by the call, she immediately went home.

After her diagnosis, Wendy has undergone various treatments, including radiation, chemotherapy, and two lumpectomies. Mesley was able to make her way back to the CBC. But even while working full-time, Wendy was under close observation of an oncologist. In addition to that, Wendy follows her prescription of Herceptin, which is an intravenous, anti-cancer drug.

After returning to CBC, Wendy's documentary was aired that same month. Her documentary is titled Chasing the Cancer Answer. Among the American audience, the documentary is a well-received one. Since her return, Wesley has offered her audience the best of her, particularly on The National, CBC's nightly newscast.
