It’s been a busy week with planning the book signing party, media appearances and speaking engagements. Yesterday we visited with a liver surgeon in Louisville upon the advice of Nancy Hamm, a miracle survivor who is in From Incurable to Incredible. Rather than having to repeat all of it, here is what my husband Mike [...]
I just returned from my interview on Cincinnati’s Channel 19. I found that the most stressful thing was not being on TV, but trying to find the place! I am extremely fortunate to have a husband Mike, a talented public relations professional who has landed me much of my publicity. He has been so supportive every step [...]
I haven’t posted in a while, not just because I’ve been on vacation, but because we were in such a remote location, we had very spotty Internet access. Our Utah vacation has been full of surprises. I knew it was going to be pretty, but had no idea there was such diversity of beauty. After [...]
I promised to report about the Image Reborn retreat, so here it is. It was beyond my wildest dreams. I knew it was going to be special as we wound up a mile-high mountain past huge mountain homes until we reached our mansion. We’re talking 10 bathrooms, a breathtaking view, special massage room, hot tub, [...]
When I was at the Young Women Affected by Breast Cancer Conference in February, I stopped by the Young Survival Coalition’s table to see my friend Kristy. “You’ve got to stop by Image Reborn’s booth; I went to one their retreats and it was great!” When I finally found them tucked away in a not-well-traveled corner, [...]
When I started writing From Incurable to Incredible, I had two goals: to help others…and myself, to be honest! Well it certainly has helped me in so many ways. Nancy Hamm is one of the stories I shared in the book and on this site. Nancy’s doctor called her on her 59th birthday with news [...]
I’ve enjoyed making new Facebook friends as a result of my “dog and pony show” for From Incurable to Incredible. Here’s a comment I received the other day from another incredible survivor, Kristin Shrader (who be-friended me after hearing my WLW interview): I was diagonosed with breast cancer in Nov. 2005. I’ve been fighting ever [...]
Yesterday I had my first radio interview as a guest of the Bill Cunningham show on 700-WLW. I’d have to say I was a bit apprehensive being the guest of a conservative talk radio host, but my experience couldn’t have been nicer. I try to keep politics out of the equation here, but let’s just [...]
Before my life became crazy with the release of From Incurable to Incredible, I had the opportunity to connect with Andrea Hetker. Andrea has started her own blog called MelanomaGirl and is working to build a community to spread awareness of and raise funds for melanoma prevention. A Boston native, Andrea spent LOTS of time [...]
