Getting the word out about From Incurable to Incredible on the radio!
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 say I lean farther to the left than right. One thing I’ve learned is that cancer is the great equalizer. It affects everyone, and in some odd way erases all of our differences and brings us together. It was great to share hopeful stories from the book, From Incurable to Incredible.
Of course, Bill likes to put politics into his discussions, but what he brought up shocked me. He complained about the huge sums of money we spend on the war and how if it were spent on cancer research, we’d have a cure by now. He mentioned how he had the scientist who discovered the breast cancer vaccine on his show and how he complained about his difficulty to get research funds.
I agreed that more money needs to go toward research and suggested to listeners to contact their congressmen/women to suggest just that. I’d like to invite you all to do the same. Our politicians count on our votes. Let’s use our power to let them know we need to get more money to researchers so we can find a cure. Especially you survivors out there: share your story and put a personal face on this disease. Let’s be heard.
If you’d like to hear my interview (it’s about 20 minutes), click HERE . My interview is Hour 3, so go to that one.
