I’m wrapping up breast cancer awareness month with a very special interview… my mom! Margaret Suzy Wong Chan joins me on the podcast today, and it is also her 70th birthday! Happy birthday Mom! We discuss her experience with breast cancer, and her healing process. My mom did not opt for chemotherapy, but instead healed with her strong spirit and practiced ancient art form of tai chi chuan. We of course do not recommend this for everyone, but listen on to hear survival story. We also go back in time and discuss her music career in Jamaica that carried over to the US. I love hearing about her life as a singer on the road, and she shares some fun stories of her adventures.

Dear Sifu Margret Suzy Wong Chan,
Holding you in LIGHT & FAITH as a Breast Cancer Survivor*

Very interesting. This brings back the fact that my daughter went through the same thing.
THe doctor told her that she only had a small lump and not to worry.
She said that if it does not belong there, to take it out..
He did and sent it to the Pathologist who told her that it was a cancerous tumor and needed to be removed immediately..
At that time, she was only 18 and did not realize the extent of the condition. She is now in remission 30 years later
Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts. I am so happy to hear that your daughter is in remission. Best of health to you both!
Thank you for sharing, Simu. Your students, like me, are inspired by your example.
