Hello Friends,

I was interviewed to day by a cool lady by the name of Yvonne Ortega. She is an author too.  Yvonne has a website, www.yvonneortega.com and a blog radio show. She’s been around the cancer world for several years now, and considered somewhat of an authority of faith and cancer.  I liked Yvonne.

We talked about Clinical Trials, my book, the Support Your Survivor program and my Faith.  She has  great communication skills and radio suits her very well. After all, she put up with me for 30 minutes. In the interview she asked what made me write about Clinical Trials. I gave her the usual answer, but it’s really simple when you get right down to it, AWARENESS AND OPTIONS.

If more of us thought of everyone else and not always about themselves we would probably have found cures for many ailments and diseases by now.  We should be talking  and praying more.  We need to be aware……we need volunteerism..and we need more caring. Constant budget struggles and negative thinking is what bogs progress down. I know we have to work and to feed our families, but let’s not get too busy we forget until illness comes a ‘callin’.

Let’s get together on the issues and figure out a way that everyone can see the doctor and not be intimidated by cost and lack of knowledge.

Have Faith, people……..Yvonne’s  message today was not just about me BUT what we should stand  for.  You can listen to my interview in the blog talk radio archives.

Blog Radio Interview June 29 at 10am

Hello Friends,

Well, I’m at it again, I guess I will never learn!  Here it is at the end of the month, and I am STILL running hard and sleeping less. Yeah…. I know… this is not good for my body, and I’m the one preaching health and taking it slower ! Go figure…..

For those of you lucky enough to have Tuesday June 29  at 10 am free, I would love for you to join me in a live interview with Hope For The Journey. The blog radio show is hosted by my good friend Yvonne  Ortega.  The show is for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and walks with them from diagnosis to survival.  Yvonne has a unique way of making her guests feel comfortable and appreciated for sharing their experiences. Every time I listen to her interviews I get a deeper sense of pride about being a survivor.

We probably will talk more about my projects than my book, but that’s ok. In case some of you didn’t know, I am involved with the Support Your Survivor’ program. It is network of cancer survivors, therapists, some medical folks and a handful of small community based  organizations. The heart of our mission is to assist low income breast cancer patients with a prosthesis. It’s really that simple. We are working on the website, but you can see some info on my site, www.behindthepinkribbon.info.

I am looking forward to talking with Yvonne and her audience. As you know, since becoming a survivor, my life has taken a totally different turn, and although I am still in remission, I continue to live with the fear that the cancer will return. And this is where true faith comes in, and believe me..I use it every day. That is why the ‘Hope For The Journey’ blog talk radio show is so important. It gives cancer diagnosis and survival a voice. So you can bet it’s going to be interesting  talking with Yvonne!

Feel free to join us!   Check out Yvonne’s site at www.yvonneortega.com.
