WRTV Investigates Kara Kenney fights for what's right and holds those in power accountable.
WHITESTOWN — Former WRTV anchor Tanya Spencer has died after battling an aggressive cancer which started in her colon.Tanya Sumner, known as Tanya Spencer during her television reporting career, also served District Three on the Whitestown Town Council.Tanya spent 10 of her 20 years in television journalism as a reporter and anchor at WRTV.
In her final Facebook post to friends, Tanya said, “Time. Good health. Those are our only true commodities. Our only true currencies that matter.” While her television career by its nature was public, the married mother of a teenager always cherished her privacy including when she left television to pursue other dreams.
Her biggest challenge surfaced on Nov. 17, 2022. Emergency surgery led to the discovery of colon cancer."I have a rare genetic mutation. It's called Kras G12c mutation. It's very aggressive, very fast growing," Sumner said in 2023.Sumner encouraged others to get a colonoscopy. She waited to get a colonoscopy check-up, unaware that in 2021 new guidelines called for the screenings to begin at age 45 instead of 50.
"If you could imagine me finding this grapefruit size tumor 6 years earlier--we would be having a different conversation. Yeah its uncomfortable, its unpleasant. No one wants a colonoscopy but get the thing. Get it at 45," said Sumner.
