Inspire! Blog Talk Radio

by

I really want to share with you all that I’m loving this blog talk radio show. I just feel so … alive when I’m talking with people about survivorship.

I mean, I love to talk, so this is really such a perfect venue for me. It’s hard to believe I didn’t major in communications when I first went away to college. (Engineering??? What was I thinking???)

I truly believe it is my destiny to use my voice to reach women with messages pertaining to breast cancer. My written voice and my audible voice. And this show just fits in so well with that.

In case you missed yesterday’s episode (Can I call them episodes? Do I have to call it a program? If I call it an episode, I can say, “Previously, on Inspire!” and pretend it is Keifer Sutherland’s voice just like on 24 — but I diverge. Where the hell was I? Oh, right, yesterday’s episode … here’s the link!

During this particular program, I introduced my co-host, Donna St. Jean Conti. Donna’s got quite a story to tell … what a battle this woman had! And I thought I was the surgical queen. I’ve got nothing on Donna.

There were a few points that Donna and I addressed that I think are important enough to share once again:

(1) Men can carry the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic abnormalities that are linked to breast and ovarian cancer.
(2) Even in lieu of a negative genetic test results (no BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation) someone could still have a genetic predisposition towards breast cancer (not all of the genes have been identified by researchers)
(3) Surgery is an often overlooked aspect of breast cancer treatment — it’s not all chemotherapy and radiation!
(4) Life after breast cancer is surprisingly fulfilling … because survivors tend to get their priorities in order, they do more of what they love and they consider each day the true gift that it really is.

Don’t think for a minute that you don’t have to listen now; come back here and let me know what I missed!
