Five years ago in June I started sharing my cancer story with the world.
Jenny Gold invited me to share my story on her show.
Nancy Debra Barrows M.S. CCC-SLP on her Connected Human Conversations show.
And on many more.
That's how Showing Up: Perspectives On Cancer started.
By me sharing my story and then receiving so many messages of love and support.
You see, I stayed quiet about my cancer journey, which started in my 20s when I was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, for 15 years.
I had never spoken to another CML survivor up to that point.
Only some close family members knew.
Now I know so many amazing CML survivors including Zoraida Morales, CTNC, Lynne Dagata, Alyssa Powell and Michele Bielik-Tschirhart.
And many other cancer patients, survivors and supporters through Showing Up: Perspectives On Cancer, which I created in November 2021, first as a show, then adding collaborative books, and in-person events.
In October 2024 Showing Up officially became a 501c3 nonprofit organization.
All with the goals of bringing cancer patients, survivors and supporters together to let them know they're not alone - and to share their stories when they're ready.
Our 5th Annual Showing Up: Perspectives On Cancer In-Person Event is Oct. 2-4 at Franciscan Friars of the Atonement 's Holy Mountain Retreat Center in Garrison, N.Y. Register today at Early Bird Pricing:
