me ask you a question. Have you

25
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:32.400
or any of your loved ones ever
had cancer? Well, I'm pretty sure

26
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:38.560
everyone listening can probably say yes to
that. Tell me, have you ever

27
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:46.000
met someone who has had cancer?
Five times? Yeah? I know that's

28
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:52.520
amazing. Have you ever wondered how
cancer affects the families and friends who are

29
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:59.000
trying to help, trying to support
the cancer patient. It affects everyone in

30
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:04.000
a big way. Would you like
to meet someone who can tell you what

31
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:08.639
it is like to actually really have
cancer. Tell me now, have you

32
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:15.800
ever heard about an amazing book entitled
The Call of Cancer, A Loving Pathway

33
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:23.560
to wholeness, healing and Transformation.
If you can answer yes or say maybe

34
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.599
to any of these questions, then
you are in the right place. And

35
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:32.719
I'd like to welcome you to January

guest. I'm very excited to have

officer of the Cancer Journey Institute, the

42
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:16.759
surviving four bouts of Hopkins liphoma yes
you heard me right four times,

43
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:25.000
and one bout of gastric intestinal cancer, and then she made some life changing

44
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:31.800
decisions. She decided to make coaching
her prefence profession, hence the Panic Too

45
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:36.879
Powerful program. Don't you love that? I love alliteration Panic to Powerful.

46
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:43.639
Welcome, It's my pleasure to welcome
to our podcast today, Sherry and Tom.

47
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.120
Hi, Sherry, how you doing. I'm great? What a lovely

48
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:53.199
introduction. Thank you, January.
I hope I did you justice. I've

49
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:57.480
been so excited to have you on
the show because before we went on the

50
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:02.040
air, I told you that I
had had a person little experience twenty one

51
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:08.319
years ago when I lost a dear
friend to cancer after three years, and

52
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:15.680
going through that three years with her
was just an incredible experience, good ways

53
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.000
and bad ways, and for you
to do it five times, I really

54
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:26.160
want to talk to you about that. I want to hear about that before

55
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:31.439
we begin your success story. Would
you share your background, where you were

56
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:38.560
born, your early mentors, and
what life was like for you growing up.

57
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:45.240
Thank you for asking me that,
yet asked that very often. I'm

58
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:55.040
a native San Franciscan. I come
from the Chinese descent, and so being

59
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:00.279
strangely, it feels like San Francisco
is kind of like a little version of

60
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:06.879
Hawaii because I can turn around anywhere
and there's always an age there. I

61
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:11.680
think we migrated from Hawaii. My
mom originally is from Hawaii, by the

62
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:18.000
way, and cancer wasn't part of
my family history. I mean, I

63
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.639
literally am the first one. So
when it showed it in my life,

64
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:30.920
it was wow, what is this? Yeah, and so it wasn't in

65
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.879
your DNA, so to speak.
And how old were you when you had

66
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:41.879
your first encounter with mister mister cancer. Interesting that you say that. I

67
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:46.759
want to bring that, come back
to that in a moment. I was

68
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:51.040
thirty eight, My children were four
and seven, so this was back in

69
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:57.959
Well, just we're with senior success. So I'm proud to say this because

70
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:03.600
not everybody gets too to live to
hear. That was in nineteen ninety eight.

71
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:10.639
And wow, yeah, that was
my that was my first encounter.

72
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:15.360
Subsequently, right, I had five
and I just I want you brought up

73
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:20.160
the granny glitter gifts. I just
want to say, I'm going to be

74
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:29.240
a granny in September, first time
for the first time. So my seven

75
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:35.439
year old is now in his thirties
and one to granny. Yeah, O

76
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:43.519
exciting. I have seven grandchildren.
I have four boys and three girls,

77
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:48.079
and I always tell everyone, you
know, grandchildren are your reward for not

78
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:56.759
killing your children. Well, this
is one of those you know dreams that

79
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:01.879
the thing that kept me going through
all those cancers were once, I mean

80
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.720
really specifically was I wanted my children
to have a mommy, and I want

81
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.560
it to be this one. Yeah. Yeah, And you wanted to someday

82
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.240
be a granny that that glitters and
glows, and you certainly are. Do

83
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:20.879
you know if you're having a little
baby boy or girl yet, or it's

84
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:26.480
going to be a girl. Well
that's even better, I do. My

85
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.680
daughter in law said, when she
found out that it was a girl,

86
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:35.039
she goes, Okay, everybody's taken
care of now. Well, you know

87
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.840
when I found out I was getting
my granddaughter, I was in the room

88
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.000
with the doctors where they do the
test, and it turned out it was

89
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.159
twins, a boy and a girl. Wow okay. And I heard a

90
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.600
boy and I was happy and happy. And then when they said girl,

91
00:08:50.039 --> 00:09:00.320
I said, I've got to go
shine. Oh that'll be wonderful. They

92
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:05.559
live near you, they do.
I'm very fortunate. Yeah, that's even

93
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:11.840
very fortunate. That's lovely, lovely. Okay. So going back, you

94
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.720
were thirty eight, you had a
four year old and a seven year old,

95
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:22.320
and how did this come about?
Did you have symptoms or how did

96
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:28.320
you discover you had cancer? Yeah? I am I had I felt a

97
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.960
lump in my neck every once in
a while to go back to it.

98
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.440
And and I come from a bumpy
family. So I have a lot of

99
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.759
siblings, have four brothers and a
sister and I'm sorry, three brothers and

100
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:45.159
sister. I added one. And
they always over the years have gotten you

101
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.919
know, just little bumps, fatty
deposits. And I was like, oh,

102
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:52.679
okay, it's my turn. And
so I'm like, okay, this

103
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:58.440
this book just a little you know, family bump, except that you know

104
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:03.679
how you get that feeling of something's
not quite right. Yeah, And I

105
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.879
said this in my book. I
was we were driving to a camp my

106
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:15.799
husband and I and the kids were
driving to a camping trip and just this

107
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:20.720
this fear just kind of overtook me. And I couldn't stop touching the lump

108
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:26.039
obviously, and I said to my
husband, I think it's growing legs.

109
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.320
And I mean that immediately frights in
tim. I mean, he was like,

110
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:33.320
well it was a Saturday, and
was like, what what do you

111
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.399
want me to do? When you
want to go back home? You want

112
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:37.679
to find a doctor. And I'm
like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

113
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:43.080
He's pandy me more than me.
But I just I really felt like something's

114
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.039
here, I need to go check
it out. And that was the beginning

115
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.960
of the journeys. Oh my gosh. You know, we're going to hear

116
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:56.360

145
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:39.960
there, Sherry, right, thank
you, Thank you for sharing your information

146
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:45.879
too. So let's look at this
timeline of five cancers. You were thirty

147
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:50.000
eight the first time it happened.
How old were you the next time?

148
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.480
It was a whole whopping year in
a one month. So it came back,

149
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:01.919
and that came back. The thing
about lymphom is that it moves,

150
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:07.240
and my particular lymphoma is supposed to
be very predictable if it is going to

151
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:13.399
reappear, and it wasn't. It
decided that it wanted to change sides,

152
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:20.799
show up differently, and so we're
we're getting pretty concerned. And so I'm

153
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.320
at this point going, that's really
fast. A year and a month,

154
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.879
I feel like I just find this
treatment. Let's kind of throw the whole

155
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:35.200
kitchen sink at it. And my
doctors were pretty excited about being able to

156
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:41.600
do that. So I had high
dose chemo radiation and a stem cell transplant.

157
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:48.720
Oh wow, wow, you really
wow? Transplant? Wow? Okay,

158
00:14:48.600 --> 00:15:00.639
so chemo radiation transplant. How long
did you do chemo for even remember

159
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:05.480
that sign? Probably about six months
and then a full month of radiation.

160
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.759
Okay, I know. They threw
me into the hospital and they basically they

161
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:18.159
were obliterating what immune system I had
left. They had already taken out.

162
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.799
I luckily I got to have my
own stim cell back. They took it

163
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:28.840
out, kept it in on cryo. Yeah, I've had that, okay,

164
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:35.200
and then once they took me down
to like the zero immune system,

165
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:39.279
they gave it back to me and
I needed to be in I feelt like

166
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.159
I was the boy in the bubble. Oh yes, yeah, oh for

167
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:48.360
sure, for sure. Wow.
So you were at this point approaching forty

168
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:56.000
yes, yes, okay, So
let's look at this timeline and then we

169
00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:00.799
can come back and discuss it off
further. And so how did you get

170
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:07.440
a reprieve from cancer? We did. It lasted for about three years,

171
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:12.120
and then they said, oh,
here we go, we're finding it in

172
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:21.480
a different part of your body.
And that time, the recovery from the

173
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:27.799
kitchen sink treatment was way too devastating. So I opted for something that I

174
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:32.399
felt like I could handle. I
didn't think that I would be able to

175
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:41.279
handle anything really significant, and so
I went with radiation only. And that

176
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:47.600
was for like a month and a
half and wow, right, we think

177
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:49.759
that it's lighter, but it's a
kind of a cumulative effect. So that

178
00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:55.480
one took me took me way down. Okay, Oh, I'm sure just

179
00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:00.720
psychologically, you know, because when
you go into remission, you think,

180
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:06.079
wow, this is you know,
I beat it. Maybe, but it's

181
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:11.400
so hard to beat, isn't it. Yeah, And you're trying to go

182
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:15.880
back into your life. It's like
and I encourage everyone to not let it

183
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:22.920
stop your Yeah, please re engage
as much as you can. Yeah.

184
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:29.240
Yeah, And I'm I'm I'm hoping
here you're going to tell me you had

185
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:33.799
an incredible support system. Yes,
I did. What was very lovely,

186
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:40.319
uh that we had something called the
share of the care group, and so

187
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:45.599
that was family and friends. And
you know, the amazing thing about answer

188
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:49.119
is there are people who show up
that you didn't know would. And so

189
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:55.160
I had a cousin who not as
strange, but it was distant and she

190
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:59.440
was right there, right there for
me, and they would take turns taking

191
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:04.599
me to my treatments. After you
can imagine, after the stemshell transplant,

192
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:11.079
I had to have twenty four seven
care and so people took turns to just

193
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.720
sit and be with me. How
wonderful. I know. I know.

194
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:21.440
I've spent many hours with my dear
friend during her chemo, and it got

195
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:29.440
to be like we started no people
and then of course some people would not

196
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:36.720
come back, and it was just
devastating and we were all kind of like

197
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:41.839
in the boat, rowing together hoping
to get through it. It's really without

198
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:48.640
a support system, it's probably impossible, don't you agree, Yes, yes.

199
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.880
The nice thing now is even those
who are who don't have a big

200
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:57.319
family unit, there are again those
people that are willing to show up for

201
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:03.400
you. We of course have coaches
that can be there for you, but

202
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:08.400
other people who you would not have
known within the medical system or just your

203
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:14.920
life. That I think is one
of the most refreshing parts is that we

204
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:18.440
don't have to do it alone and
you don't know who's going to show up

205
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.599
for you. Yes, yes,
yeah, yeah, And you know interesting,

206
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:29.440
sometimes the people you think will show
up are missing in action, and

207
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:37.119
that that's a blow. It's a
huge book. I became quite strange from

208
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:41.400
a couple of friends thinking what I
mean, because there's this feeling of abandonment

209
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:45.440
when the ones you really feel confident
they're going to be here and then they're

210
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:49.839
not. Oh, I know,
devastating, devastating, panic to power.

211
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:55.720
I love that name because I said, I'm really into a literation. How

212
00:19:55.720 --> 00:20:03.000
did you come up with that description? Panic is kind of a norm that

213
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:07.240
happens within the cancer journey. So
I mean, if anyone's wondering if they're

214
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:11.880
going to glide through, there will
be moments of panic. But what I

215
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:17.079
know that I wanted the most,
and I kind of feel like I'm an

216
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:22.960
expert at cancer that I chose to
do that January. It just after five

217
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:27.319
times, you just kind of know
how this works. You don't know how

218
00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:33.319
your body's going to respond, but
you know the process. It's your path.

219
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:41.039
Yeah m hm. Yeah. The
question was that you asked me how

220
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:48.200
the panic, panic to perfect path? What I wanted the most was to

221
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:52.720
feel powerful again. Yes, right, of course, of course you did.

222
00:20:52.759 --> 00:21:00.079
Oh wow, Okay, so I've
got to uh two, and what

223
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:06.839
happened the third time? Okay?
So the third time was radiation. Only

224
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:15.640
the fourth time it came back was
I think it was three years. Three

225
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:22.519
years. So here we go and
I went back to Stanford and this is

226
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.400
how I remember the treatment. They
probably said it was something else. But

227
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:32.119
I think they said something like we're
going to give you Stanford fu and I'm

228
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:37.680
like, that's quite inappropriate. Day. There was going to be twelve,

229
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:44.440
twelve sessions of that, with each
session taking you know, three weeks,

230
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:49.160
so it was a really long time. So this is chemo again or yeah,

231
00:21:49.720 --> 00:22:00.000
you right, what a perfect description. Okay, So you're talking twelve

232
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:06.200
sessions and each one took how many
weeks? But the process was three weeks

233
00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:07.880
for me, and we'd get it, then it would, you know,

234
00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:14.079
do it hopefully magic, and then
I would be I would be coming out

235
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:18.799
of that treatment and then I would
go through another one. So yeah,

236
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:25.480
and as I recall, my friend
was horribly sick after these things, and

237
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:30.839
I'm sure you were too. Uh
and how did you? How do you

238
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.880
keep going back? How do you
keep going back for more? I mean,

239
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:40.279
she you know that that key.
It's like we all need that one

240
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:44.200
thing or something, a vision of
what you want at the end. And

241
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:48.440
I still wanted to be at my
kids graduations. I wanted to be there

242
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:52.400
to teach them how to drive,
to ride their bike, you know,

243
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:57.240
the first and I'm so lucky and
grateful that I got to do that.

244
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:03.880
But that was my guiding light,
that was my baddo light. Yeah,

245
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:10.319
and where each of these four things
Hodgkin's lipoma was at the same time the

246
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:17.119
four yes. But okay started here
right and all the way down to my

247
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:22.960
groin. Oh wow, Okay.
I've talked to people who've had cancer three

248
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.720
times that have been here with us
on the podcast. Now you're studying a

249
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:33.200
record for this podcast, so somebody
else could beat my record. I don't

250
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:37.559
want to gladly give it up.
Gladly give it up for sure. Well,

251
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:45.400
before we go on to this next
segment of your Powerful Path, I

252
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:52.240
want to share with everyone that sixty
years ago an assassination happened and people are

253
00:23:52.279 --> 00:24:00.240
still asking who killed Kennedy. Let
me ask you a question. Are you

254
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:06.000
still wondering who killed Kennedy? Over
fifty years later? The assassination is still

255
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:11.160
a mystery. It is unfinished business
for our country. Now get ready for

256
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:15.599
a theory that you've never heard before
but will make more sense than any other

257
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:22.119
conspiracy theory that you've ever heard in
the past. January Jones speaks the unspeakable

258
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:27.119
in her book Jackie, Ari and
Jack The Tragic Love Triangle Connecting Jackie and

259
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:34.359
aristotalonass romantically prior to JFK's assassination.
Did you know that Are was Jackie's guest

260
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:38.680
in the White House during the JFK
funeral. He was the only non family

261
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:44.759
member who was invited by Jackie to
stay there during the funeral. Aristotlasis was

262
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:48.599
one of the wealthiest men in the
world, with the means, the motive,

263
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:52.680
and the money to order an assassination
that was the perfect prime of the

264
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:57.960
last century. Are needed class and
Jackie needed cash. They were perfect for

265
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:04.000
each other. Now what is Camalot? It is but another tragic love triangle?

Read by mis Jones, Welcome back with

268
00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:27.079
Sharyan tom Before we talk about the
Cancer Journey Institute and Sharynne becoming a cancer

269
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:33.960
coach. What happened that? How
long were you in remission before you had

270
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:40.559
your fifth encounter with mister cancer?
So everyone throws out the five year mark

271
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.359
and I reached it and we had
a grand celebration. Oh, we cruise

272
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:51.799
my whole family. I was so
delighted. Yeah, and then year six,

273
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:57.039
I think it's year six or year
seven, year six, this just

274
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:03.519
shows up through everybody off guard.
They're like, oh, yeah, we

275
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:07.799
don't think that's a secondary cancer.
Where what is it. It's a gastro

276
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:12.359
inteslo stroma tumor, so it's not
related to the lymphoma. And then it

277
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:19.519
was found in my rectum. Oh
there, oh there, so it was

278
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:26.200
related to the I just found out
last year that it was, but we

279
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:30.680
didn't know that it everybody. I
mean I even talked to the head of

280
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:34.000
the Stanford Lymphoma Clinic and he's like, I don't know Sherrianne, and I'm

281
00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:38.880
like, okay, well, we're
going through this. Oh now. The

282
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:47.480
difference is lymphoma is a blood cancer
and just as a solid so meaning that

283
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:51.640
it's a solid tumor and it's not
it's not flowing through my blood. So

284
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:55.160
I got to have it removed by
surgery. So I mean, I got

285
00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:59.960
to experience that because when I was
first diagnosed all the way at thirty eight,

286
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.440
it the first inclination was cut it
out, take it out of me.

287
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:07.480
I don't want it here, and
they could it. Oh really,

288
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:12.519
it's a blood cancer, so they
can't take it out. Oh dear well,

289
00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:18.880
so that. Yeah, so then
did you have to do more chemo

290
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:26.119
or how make that? I did
it oral chemo. That one was really

291
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:32.240
tough for me. I don't know
if it was because they were giving me

292
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:34.880
medicine for stomach cancer and it was
in my rectum. I don't know,

293
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:41.279
but it was really hard on my
system. And every day that I tried

294
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:45.519
it, it was just I said, I it wasn't working for me.

295
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:49.559
I don't even know how to say
this in a different way. Yeah,

296
00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:57.240
it was stabilitating. So after a
certain amount of time I stopped. Oh

297
00:27:57.400 --> 00:28:04.160
you just stopped taking it stop and
that worked out, I guess because you're

298
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:08.799
here. I'm here, and I'm
going to be celebrating this year, my

299
00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:15.799
ten year anniversary from having that cancer. That cancer. So, oh my

300
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:18.599
gosh, you are are You're a
miracle girl, aren't you. Yeah.

301
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:23.480
I bet when you walk through they
to go, oh, here she comes.

302
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:29.079
I know, we don't wander in
here anymore. Oh, that is

303
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:34.039
ten years in remission, And let's
talk about what you've been doing for the

304
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:40.440
last ten years, because I'm pretty
impressed with your story and five times I've

305
00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:45.359
never heard anything like that before.
Thank you for sharing. Now you have

306
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:49.799
become a cancer coach and tell us
about this journey. It sounds very exciting.

307
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:56.839
Well, during my personal journeys,
I found life coaching. This was

308
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:02.319
back in nineteen ninety nine, so
back then life coaching really wasn't mainstream.

309
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:04.039
People would say if I said I
was a coach, they'd say, what

310
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:10.680
basketball team are you coaching? I
put too so that that doesn't even make

311
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:18.680
sense to me. Oh, I
found that, And the coaching community is

312
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:23.880
such a warm, loving community that
I found. I found my place.

313
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:32.799
I found my community, and I
had coaches taking me through my journey,

314
00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:37.480
not from a cancer just standpoint,
but more from a human standpoint. And

315
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:45.039
I think that if I didn't have
them to process my emotions, my mindset,

316
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.279
the fear stories going on in my
head, how I was looking at

317
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:52.759
life, and to help me with
my spirit because it was about this big

318
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:57.200
like a like a little flickering pilot
light. There wasn't much a live that's

319
00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:03.279
happening in me. I would have
made it. Yeah, oh well absolutely

320
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:10.039
not. I can believe what you're
saying. So it sounds to me like

321
00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:18.480
coaching could be a super therapy and
that it would be something that could show

322
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:22.799
you how to go forward, how
to help? How to help? That

323
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:30.200
would be what an amazing gift to
be able to share this with other people.

324
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:36.279
You're very fortunate and you're a very
generous person to do this. Oh

325
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:41.279
thank you. Well. I took
it to my local hospital and they said,

326
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:45.440
okay, how are you going to
serve the masses? And I went,

327
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:49.160
oh, I can probably take on
twenty people, but you know that's

328
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:56.039
not the masses. Obviously, we
hit the two million mark this year on

329
00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:02.480
new diagnosis, right, just in
the two million first time ever. So

330
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:07.319
yeah, my twenty people were not
going to do it. So I started

331
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:12.200
to school. I started an organization
to train individuals to be cancer journey coaches.

332
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:18.359
Oh okay, so you're the main
coach and you're spreading it out.

333
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:25.000
Yeah, it's multiplying the fish,
aren't you. Well, there's so many

334
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:29.279
people, and I know that journey. I mean, my heart is really

335
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:33.880
connected to those on a cancer journey. So I want them to stand on

336
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.759
my shoulders and my coaches shoulders and
we can lift them up so they don't

337
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:45.200
have to be alone and do it
so difficult difficultly. Yeah, So you

338
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:51.599
created an institute and you had a
coworker that I saw in your biography.

339
00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:53.759
Tell us a little bit about how
that came about. Yes, well,

340
00:31:53.960 --> 00:32:01.119
Carrie Layman, who also is a
co author of our books, my fellow

341
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:06.200
co founder, and she was my
very first coach. Oh perfect, So

342
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:09.680
when this happened, she was right
there. And when I needed to start

343
00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:15.920
this, wanted to start the institute. I tapped her on the shoulder and

344
00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:20.039
said, do you want to do
this with me? She said immediately yeah,

345
00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:27.920
Well I'm curious what does it take
to go start an institute? Do

346
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:30.440
you how do you recruit people,
how do you get the funds? How

347
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:34.880
does this all? Oh? Boy, what a journey? I hope that's

348
00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:43.160
in your book. Very grassroots.
The lucky thing for myself and my co

349
00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:47.160
founder is that we both went to
a local school here in the San Francisco

350
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:55.519
Bay area called the Coaches Training Institute's
now called the Coactive Coaches Interest Coactive Training

351
00:32:55.599 --> 00:33:02.559
Institute, and we became instructors there. So we already had the foundation.

352
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:09.680
We just created a lot of pools
for specifically the cancer journey. Okay,

353
00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:14.680
okay, so you went to coaches
School, which is an interesting concept.

354
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:19.039
I've never heard about anyone else doing
that. What a wonderful way to get

355
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:23.319
your jump in, get your feet
wet. And so then and how many

356
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:29.680
years ago did this happen? Oh? I did that back in nineteen ninety

357
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:34.799
nine when I knew that. Yeah. Oh oh, we started the institute,

358
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:38.000
my institute. Oh no, I
started that in twenty twelve. So

359
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:44.839
okay, we're celebrating twelve years this
year. Okay, So oh twelve years.

360
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:50.880
Okay. So you had gone into
remission and decided to get busy and

361
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:59.960
do something creative, something very important. Tell us about how did you fund

362
00:33:59.960 --> 00:34:01.960
it? How do you raised funds
for something like that? I know it

363
00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:09.880
must be expensive, and it's it's
very grassroots. I mean, being in

364
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:15.280
the coaching industry for a while,
I had my clientele, and so I

365
00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:21.199
was doing corporate coaching, which is
very lucrative, and I just when I

366
00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:22.480
made the jump, I said,
this is what I want to do.

367
00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:34.880
So I took my funds and that
became my foundation money and started that way.

368
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:38.719
And then very quickly we had people
who wanted to be trained to be

369
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:46.280
Cancer Journey coaches, and so they
pay tuition to be certified and we're we're

370
00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:53.440
credited by the International Coding Coaching Federation
so I mean there is there's gravitas and

371
00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:57.719
meet to what we do. It's
not like, oh I just wanted to

372
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:01.480
start this. It got ve it
got analyzed. They looked at our journey,

373
00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:07.960
underwear and underneath the hood, but
they really did look at what we

374
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:14.159
were doing to see you. We
relygit listening to this, I can share

375
00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:17.480

real deal. And right now I'm going

Welcome back with a Priceless Personality on our

403
00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:53.840
podcast and her book will be featured
on the bookshelf at glitter Granny Gifts coming

404
00:37:54.000 --> 00:38:01.239
soon. What about What do you
say to people who have cancer and they

405
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:07.960
have a fear of reoccurrence? I
mean, I mean talk about one of

406
00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:14.840
the most devastating things that can happen. What do you tell them? How

407
00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:22.920
do you help them? Well,
I hope you don't mind if I say,

408
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:29.480
I want you to meet your cancer. We all have this image of

409
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:32.880
what our cancer, who our cancer
is, right you said in the beginning,

410
00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:39.039
mister cancer, which is really quite
fascinating because I created this guided imagery

411
00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:45.840
or guided meditation that you can get
for free on our website. So if

412
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:50.639
you just go to www. Thecancer
Journey dot com, it'll be a pop

413
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:57.039
up and you could just download that. What will walk you through meeting your

414
00:38:57.119 --> 00:39:01.599
cancer in a very safe environment,
and when you do, you'll get to

415
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:07.679
personafy it person. When you do, it's like the monster under the bed,

416
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:13.039
right when we were little kids.
We're so afraid of stepping off the

417
00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:15.360
bed because we're afraid the monster is
going to grab our feet. I mean,

418
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:19.480
they made a movie about it,
right, the monsters in the closet,

419
00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:22.360
the monsters in the bed. When
you actually get mom and dad to

420
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:28.000
help you go underneath and look at
the bed, death bunnies gave you know,

421
00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:34.079
nothing scary. The same concept is
with this meeting your cancers. If

422
00:39:34.079 --> 00:39:38.559
we can persona fy it, then
that fear of recurrence of it coming back

423
00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:44.280
is not as great because we can
actually interact with it. We can talk

424
00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:46.599
to it, we can have a
conversation, we can beat it up if

425
00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:51.440
we want to, we can scream
and shout at it. So what you're

426
00:39:51.760 --> 00:40:00.239
doing is you're helping people take it
from being unknown to a known entity.

427
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:07.280
You're putting it into a personal perspective. As far as that's a brilliant way

428
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:12.320
to do it. Yeah, I
always just called it mister cancer, and

429
00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:15.519
I hate I knew I hated it, hated him. I didn't know what

430
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:20.199
he looked like or anything, but
he wasn't my kind of person. And

431
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:24.239
what a brilliant way to help people
get through it. Wonderful, Oh,

432
00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:30.400
I actually, I mean my cancer
obviously, through five different bouts, has

433
00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:36.440
morphed. And at one particular time
when I did this this guided meditation for

434
00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:44.760
myself, he showed up as a
he in a tuxedo, okay, which

435
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:47.000
is you know, if you're allowing
it to just come, and it's like,

436
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:51.800
what are you doing? Why are
you in a texedo? What's going

437
00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:55.760
on right now? And what kind
of what kind of conversations did the two

438
00:40:55.800 --> 00:41:00.679
of you have. I'd like to
hear that it's been all over the map.

439
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:07.559
I do revisit it when that feeling
of fear comes up, when I'm

440
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:13.719
going to get another scan or if
i have a doctor's appointment, start the

441
00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:22.960
fear of recrurence comes very close,
and I'll revisit the meditation, the visualization,

442
00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:28.400
and I'll get to say things.
But it has been actually kinder over

443
00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:32.519
the years, like I'm just here
as a reminder live your life. Okay.

444
00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:40.199
Yeah, yeah, that's the important
messages too. But that's a difficult

445
00:41:40.199 --> 00:41:45.679
thing to do, isn't it.
Yeah, especially when people are just laid

446
00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:53.400
low with the chemo and the sickness
and the depression. Do you have like

447
00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:59.199
in your program, do you have
support groups or how do people connect with

448
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:06.039
to help them connect with other people
who are Yes, yes, and they

449
00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:10.159
can go. People can go to
my website and look under programs and events

450
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:14.519
so that they can see all the
different ones that are available. We try

451
00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:19.719
to do free ones almost every month, so there's some place for them to

452
00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:24.320
go. We believe in learning and
so people can learn new tools, new

453
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:29.239
tricks, and just being able to
talk to other people who are going through

454
00:42:29.400 --> 00:42:36.719
a similar space. Sure we will
and soon and are in the works of

455
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:43.719
creating something specifically for caregivers. I
feel like they're the unsung heroes. Yeah,

456
00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:50.880
that was my next question. How
does helping the support group, because

457
00:42:50.960 --> 00:42:53.679
the support group, and you know, they get tired, They get tired,

458
00:42:54.559 --> 00:42:59.519
you know this personally, Yeah,
they get worn out and then they're

459
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:04.920
depleted. Yeah. Yeah, and
they are not the ones we want depleted.

460
00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:08.719
They need support. They need to
know that there's people who have their

461
00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:15.840
backs so that they can take care
of themselves. In your opinion, what's

462
00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:21.880
the best way to support someone who
is a victim and the support system.

463
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:24.119
I would say the best way would
be to go to your website. Quite

464
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:32.719
frankly, hello, yeah, yeah, we wrote the book Carrie and I

465
00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:37.639
wrote the book hoping that that would
be kind of like the guide as people

466
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:42.079
were going through cancer, because it
has the cancer journey, wrote maap in

467
00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:45.559
it and that's very predictable, and
then some tools on how to deal with

468
00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:52.239
where you are. So I would
say, if you're newly diagnosed or even

469
00:43:52.519 --> 00:43:58.760
you know, just in the middle
of treatment, Amazon, you don't even

470
00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:02.840
have to read you can go to
audible, turn it on and just let

471
00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:09.400
yourself hear this. Yes, Harry
was the vocals and she's got a wonderful,

472
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:14.840
beautiful, soothing voice. Oh,
I'm so glad that's an audible because

473
00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:20.599
I've just we've discovered it with all
my books. And how wonderful for someone

474
00:44:20.679 --> 00:44:28.000
who is sitting in that chair getting
the chemo and there's to be listening to

475
00:44:28.159 --> 00:44:32.840
something positive that especially on that topic, because it's the thing a lot of

476
00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:37.719
people don't want to talk about.
Very Oh you got it, Yes,

477
00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:43.280
this is true. Yeah, very
difficult. Okay, before we go,

478
00:44:43.400 --> 00:44:47.960
what would you like to share with
us from your experience? My gosh,

479
00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:54.719
total a lot of experience here people. What would you like to share with

480
00:44:54.840 --> 00:45:02.159
us that cancer patients don't share the
thing is that they don't say to their

481
00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:07.920
loved ones, what are they what's
going on with the cancer patient. So

482
00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:13.519
I think it's probably not a surprise
if I say it, but it might

483
00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:15.400
be a surprise for people to not
say, oh, I didn't think about

484
00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:22.159
that. The thing about being a
cancer patient is that you you love that

485
00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:30.079
people are there to support you,
but you're actually taking care of everybody that

486
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:37.159
you as the patient. You don't
want to really tell them how tired you're

487
00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:42.440
feeling, how devastated, how angry
are what you're feeling emotionally because you're afraid

488
00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:49.079
of impacting them. And then and
then they do more of what you said

489
00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:52.639
about the caregivers as they give more
of themselves where you want them to take

490
00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:57.800
care of themselves. And so you're
ending that taking care of everybody else and

491
00:45:57.920 --> 00:46:06.880
yourself having like gifting someone the cancer
journey coach so that they have the patient

492
00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:09.880
has a safe place or even the
caregiver has a safe place that they don't

493
00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:15.239
have to take care of anybody and
they can scream and shout and process what's

494
00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:20.880
going on and process the cancer journey
because the caregiver is on a cancer journey.

495
00:46:21.199 --> 00:46:23.400
Just like you said at the beginning, of this as much as the

496
00:46:23.480 --> 00:46:34.920
patient is sure. Yeah, And
it's just it's so essential for people to

497
00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:43.159
be able to release and to talk
and to get these things out because everyone's

498
00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:49.559
worried about what everyone else is.
You know, it's all so crazy careers

499
00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:54.599
trying to exactly exactly anytime, they're
forgetting about themselves. That's just the way

500
00:46:54.639 --> 00:47:00.440
that works. Everybody. Yeah,
everybody. Yes, that's a pretty universal

501
00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:06.880
situation from what I've observed. How
about share with us a little bit about

502
00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:12.119
your own family. How has it
all impacted them? How are they doing

503
00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:19.159
as your personal family? I think
it definitely brought us much closer. One

504
00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:22.760
of the things that we did at
the very beginning, my husband and I

505
00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:25.400
with our kids, is that we
were going to tell them the truth as

506
00:47:25.480 --> 00:47:29.559
much as they could handle it,
that the different ages that they were,

507
00:47:30.119 --> 00:47:37.519
and that hasn't made it a very
safe close relationship. Where my kids said

508
00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:42.440
to me, they said, we
don't ever lie to you, because why

509
00:47:44.039 --> 00:47:47.960
for them, the chance of losing
their mommy was the devastating enough. So

510
00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:54.079
it's like I'm embracing this relationship.
And I never thought that my kids would

511
00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:58.800
be interested in the work that I
do. But my daughter works for us

512
00:47:58.840 --> 00:48:02.880
now, Okay, I know.
I mean, that's how close we are,

513
00:48:04.119 --> 00:48:07.639
and it's a joy. She is
the best person in the role that

514
00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:13.880
she's in, and so I'm not
like, I don't call it nepotism,

515
00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:20.440
but it's just lovely to have her
close in this meaningful, powerful work that

516
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:24.039
we do. What a special But
thank you for sharing that. That's very

517
00:48:24.079 --> 00:48:29.440
special. You know, we've come
to the end of our time together and

518
00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:32.280
I hope you, our listeners,
have enjoyed your time with us today and

519
00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:37.719

energizing, just like Sherry Anne. Next

521
00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:47.119
week I have someone come on who
wrote the Lucy book. I love Lucy

522
00:48:47.239 --> 00:48:51.559
like we all do, so we'll
be talking about that. It'll be fun.

523
00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:57.320
As for my eighty year old's perspective, I want to say that I

524
00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:02.519
am grateful because I have real life. No matter how much chocolate I eat,

525
00:49:04.679 --> 00:49:12.360
my ear rings still fit. Signing
