Breast Cancer, Survival

I'm better on the handheld. All right. Thank you, Frank.

So I'm. Someone who was first fired. My big tip. Do you want my big tip right up front? OK, let's. Why should you have to wait through 10 or 15 or 20 minutes? OK. The big tip I have for you.

One of the keys to successful treatment.

Is to recognize your opportunities when they present themselves, your opportunity for healing. Now, does that land? Are we able to assimilate that or have we not warmed up? Here's what I mean by that. I had written a book called Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos. But before September 11th, when the events of September 11th happened, I felt like I had a social responsibility. I was always already working as a professional speaker. But now with this book in my hands, I felt like to get people back on track. I had to go and I call it double my workload. I had to go do a book signing in every city that I was speaking at that I was booked to speak in. And the way that 2002 and 2003 went for me was I doubled my workload, but not my income.

OK.

And for all the authors here, you know how passionate you have to be to get your message out. And at the early part of the game, in getting a book published and getting the word out, it doesn't necessarily turn out to be the most monetary gain, full adventure you've ever pursued. Do I have any a men's in the crowd? So anyway, here I am. But this, in fact, was a dream come true for me. Don't worry. This is a talk on breast cancer survival. This, in fact, was a dream come true for me. And so I wondered why. Why was I losing my joie de Vive? Why was I losing my passion for going to these book signings?

And of course, that would be the time that I found the tumor in my left breast. I had been getting my annual mammograms now, not because I wanted to, because I was always skewed towards the alternative field and to natural healing practices. But the reason that I went and got annual mammograms was because both of my grandmothers had had breast cancer. And so the doctor, the GP treating me at the time and my OPG Y'en said you need to have these annual mammograms. So sure enough, I'm going along for the ride. I got off the bus.

All right. What happened was I found the tumor just for the fun of it, can I tell you that?

I found it in in in the middle
