Anchor Deanna Dewberry Uses Her Battle with Cancer to Inform Indianapolis Viewers

By Andrew Gauthier 

As she courageously battles breast cancer, veteran anchor Deanna Dewberry has welcomed Indianapolis viewers to follow her journey.

Dewberry, who has been with Indianapolis’s WISH since 2005, was diagnosed with breast cancer on November 12.  Instead of fighting the disease in private, she decided to use it as an opportunity to inform viewers on the journey that one takes after being diagnosed with cancer (this is Dewberry’s third cancer battle).

WISH launched a special “Deanna’s Journey” blog on its website in which Dewberry chronicles her everyday ups and downs as she undergoes treatment. The CBS-affiliate also began running a special “Deanna’s Discovery” segment on its 6 p.m. newscast this month (video above).

In a recent blog post, Dewberry wrote that she’s learned an important lesson while battling cancer: “find joy in the journey.”
