After her third battle with cancer, Stacey Sager has returned to Eyewitness News -- but she is sharing how her journey is not over yet.
Eyewitness News Reporter Stacey Sager sits down to talk about returning to work while undergoing cancer treatments. Eyewitness News is celebrating a special homecoming on Tuesday as our friend and colleague Stacey Sager returns after her latest cancer battle.
This is her third time battling cancer and she has consistently been outspoken about what she has gone through and shared what those battles look like each and every time."I'm through the bulk of my treatment and I'm on the back end of this at this point, I've gone through four months of chemo and 20 sessions of radiation and I took the summer to be with my family and get my daughter places she needed to go, and to start a new medication," Sager said.
The new medication is a targeted therapy for people with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations called Lynparza which aims to stop recurrence."What a lot of people really don't think about, and for most people who go through these cancers, there is the treatment after the treatment," Sager explained.
Sager has already inspired others who have followed her journey and says she believes you have to embrace what is going on -- whatever it may be -- and live your truth while being honest with yourself."I think it's important to embrace wherever you're at and be happy with wherever you're at and if I can do that I'm usually happier," Sager said.
Sager says the general public and people who have not had to go through cancer don't realize that the drugs all have side effects and toxicities and a patient's cancer journey doesn't end the day they ring the bell -- it is just the end of a chapter.This is a first-hand account from our Stacey Sager, who describes a story of perseverance, sacrifice, and survival as she overcame 3 separate cancers during 3 separate decades of her adult life.
