Things have been moving at crazy pace lately as we continue to launch From Incurable to Incredible. I’ve been preparing for the TV appearance this weekend, as well as a radio interview on July 6 at 2 p.m. with Bill Cunningham on WLW 700-AM in Cincinnati. In related news, Joseph Beth Booksellers will start carrying [...]
Things have been busy coming back from vacation, so I’ll keep this short and sweet. I was feeling scattered and stressed this morning thinking of all I need to do, but am in a much better place now. One thing that helped was a call from from fabulous husband Mike, a fellow public relations pro [...]
Hello from beautiful Rice Lake in Ontario, Canada! There is a beautiful breeze blowing right now. Chrissy is sitting at the table beside me on our deck and Mike is snoozing away on our dock after getting up at 5 a.m. to go fishing, taking a long, hilly walk with me, and going kayaking. If you [...]
One of my biggest fears used to be public speaking. The past couple of years, it’s been stress. The more I research, the more I learn how stress breaks down your immune system. We’ve all experienced it. You go through a stressful, busy time and what happens? You’re more prone to getting sick. From my [...]
Last month, I posted about the government panel’s findings about chemicals in our environment as it relates to cancer. According to the panel’s findings, there are 8o,000 chemicals in commercial use, but federal regulators have assessed only about 200 for safety. Pretty scary huh? There are things we can’t control, but there are plenty of ways we [...]

Hi all; sorry for all this promotional banter, but as you can imagine, I’m excited about getting From Incurable to Incredible out to the general public. I’ve had a couple of messages from people telling me that they are having trouble ordering the book at the link I provided: https://www.createspace.com/3435593. Like Amazon and other sites, [...]
It was almost two years to the date that I received an “inner nudge” to write a collection of stories of cancer survivors who, despite a grim prognosis, beat the odds. Well finally my “baby” is born! I came home today to this shiny proof copy. I approved it and now it’s released for the [...]
I have always loved a good massage. When I was single, I’d get one every month. Once I got married and had my daughter, they became a luxury I’d receive as birthday and holiday presents. Since I was diagnosed with cancer, I’ve been a bit nervous about a well-meaning practitioner “rubbing me the wrong way,” (excuse [...]
I was listening to a segment about breast cancer vaccines on NPR’s Science Friday on the way home from my massage today (ah yes, we’ll talk about that next week!) Lead researcher, immunologist Vincent Tuohy from Cleveland Clinic, excitedly described his study, in which they injected a vaccine with the antigen alpha-lactalbumin into mice who were genetically [...]
