“Cancer Schmancer”

March 21, 2014 | By Jeanne Ferris | Filed in: Jeanne Ferris.

“Cancer Schmancer” is the title of a humorous autobiography by actress, Fran Drescher of the television sit-com “The Nanny”.  It is about her successful fight with uterine cancer.

Today, my favorite yoga teacher and one of my ‘besties’ is fighting that bitch of a disease.

Beth is the model of dignity, grace and courage…plus she ‘strong like bull’.  Greek descent, she is Spartacus in female form and would wake four in the morning, meditate, make her kids breakfast, teach five yoga classes in hot heat, walk her dog and then make dinner for her kids all with a smile and continual kind words to dispense to her friends.

She found a lump by self examination and her life changed literally overnight.

She has inspired me to join her in climbing Mt. Baldy.  A big shout out to her longtime hairdresser, Estie with Swagg Salon, who was our hair “sherpa” for free.

The healthy public’s response has been an interesting experience for me.  Either, I am encouraged to go to the front of the line, ignored or complimented on my beautiful hair don’t.  Most assume that I am ill.

Pray for Beth’s complete and wholesome recovery and if so inclined, please donate to <Silver Age Yoga.com> for a tax deductible receipt of any monetary value to help Beth with her recovery.

I wish you peace and a Happy Spring,

j
