So Much More Than Cancer

Dance steps from the studio upstairs perturb office workers on the floor below, springing the musical “Conflict of Interest” into motion.Conflict fills the lighthearted drama set in 1983. It premieres Friday night at the Firehouse Center for the Arts in Newburyport.At the story’s heart beats a budding and conflicted love between two college students, the daughters of widowed parents — themselves drawn together amid swirling workplace intrigue. The show’s opening and two-weekend run is sure to stir Debra Severo’s emotions. How the musical came to be is a story in of itself and a testament to enduring feelings, collective action and a theater-family ethos.

Severo, of Newburyport, and The Actors Studio of Newburyport ushered the work into production long after the writer, Ellie Lee, died of cancer.Lee wrote it in 1996. This is truly a selfless act of love and kindness.

Robert Yoho is 66 years old in 2020. He spent three decades as a cosmetic surgeon after a career as an emergency physician. His generalist training gives him perspective and allows him to avoid favoring any medical specialty. 

​He has had little dealings with hospitals, big Pharma, or insurance companies before he wrote this book. No one has ever considered him a “whale” prescriber or device implanter. He retired from medical practice in 2019.

✪ American Society of Cosmetic Breast Surgery: fellow, trustee, officer, and past-president.
✪ American Board of Cosmetic Surgery: passed board exams and twice re-certified.
✪ American Board of Emergency Medicine: passed board exams and twice re-certified.
✪ Fellow American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (inactive).
✪ New Body Cosmetic Surgery Center: founder & director (inactive).
✪ American Association Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) accredited surgical/medical practice for over 25 years. 

Healthcare is the top cause of all our overdue debts and personal bankruptcy. Our medical spending per person is double that of other countries’, but fully half the treatments are ineffective or harmful. Immense, predatory industries such as angioplasty and coronary artery bypass surgery victimize us. These procedures cause complications and deaths, but few patients survive even a day longer. Most back and endoscopic knee surgeries are equally worthless.

Seventy percent of us are on prescriptions, and 20 percent take over five. One in six uses psychiatric medicine, which commonly causes irreversible brain damage and premature death. Millions are now addicted to prescription opioids. Fifty-thousand people die each year from overdoses.

The FDA allows big Pharma to falsify the studies required to patent drugs. These corporations hire armies of ghostwriters to stuff websites and medical journal articles with marketing lies. Finding the truth is now nearly impossible. But all this gets overlooked as the companies pay billions of dollars in criminal settlements nearly every year.

Money short-circuits everyone’s integrity, but there is an alternative. Patients and doctors can still prevail. Learn the system, and you can too.

YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS EPISODE.!
This episode is a solo episode with your host Denise DeSimone. STEP OFF & KNOW YOU WILL FLY  is the topic of Denise's new eBook that is part of her upcoming, digital, program TRANSFORM YOUR L.I.F.E. & LIVE IN FULL EXPRESSION.
Grab a cuppa and give a listen. This is an amazing recording of a live talk Denise gave at Unity On The River in Massachusetts.
         *****************************************************************************************
     What in your life calls you to the edge? What is your edge? Where is your edge? Is it some quiet, physical place where you sit and contemplate or is it a space within where you retreat to find the answers to the pressing questions of life? It might be both. 

     We know what calls us. We really do. We don’t always hear the call because we are too busy with the mental chatter about why we can’t have or don’t deserve to step off and know we will fly.

Denise DeSimone is a dynamo on so many levels. She is an author, a documentarian, an interfaith minister, inspirational speaker, cancer wellness coach and singer/guitarist. Denise considers herself a cancer “THRIVER” not just a cancer survivor. Dr. Bernie Seigel says of Denise “This woman is living the sermon.” In this season of SO MUCH MORE THAN CANCER, Denise will share how she went from being given 3 months to live as a result of a stage IV throat and neck cancer diagnosis, to living a healthy, happy life for the past 15 years since diagnosis. Join her to learn how she “befriended” as opposed to “battling” cancer and how she decided that cancer would not define her it would re-design her. Tune in to learn how and why she chose to approach cancer the way she did. Denise’s insights may help you no matter where you are on your journey with cancer. Denise and her guests are on a mission to help the cancer community and their caregivers.

Have you asked yourself “is this all there is?” Contemplated “what’s the purpose of all of this?” Yep, me too. Smack dab in the middle of my life, I found myself going through a modern-day mid-life crisis. I had it all – loving marriage, successful career, tropical vacations. And yet, I felt like I was perpetually on a gerbil wheel, spinning round and round and round, with no clear destination in sight. 

As I shared my experiences, I realized many were at a similar crossroads. Our identity is often interwoven with our service to others, which diminishes our ability to live fully and completely. We lose touch with ourselves and our essence. My purpose became clear – to inspire awakening. To stir curiosity and illuminate inner knowing. To support you as you begin your unique journey.

Mary Ann Caputo is an experienced Executive Director with a demonstrated history of working in the non-profit organization management industry. Skilled in Nonprofit Organizations, Event Planning, Nonprofit Management, Strategic Planning, and Event Management.  Since 2005, she has been a tireless advocate for families during what is often the most challenging time in their lives, guiding them through a cancer diagnosis treatment and recovery.Caputo’s career at SPOHNC was inspired by its founder Nancy Leupold.  Her diagnosis, determination and vision for the organization inspired everyone, including Caputo.  Since her appointment as Executive Director, she has helped to develop new programs, published an array of resources for navigating this disease, grown funding by 20 percent , and expanded the number of support groups from 25 to over 100 throughout the country with a mentoring program of over 225 volunteers.

Her studies at City College and Pace University pre-pared her to pursue a career in social services.  Despite ten years as a Finance Director at Revlon, Inc. her earlier residency as a social worker at Bellevue Hospital in New York City was the biggest game changer for her.

 Prior to joining SPOHNC, she put her energy into her family, raising her twin boys, Frank and Larry, and her daughter Christina.  She resides in Bayville with her husband, Lawrence.

 Today she is continuing her true calling. Helping others is a gift that keeps on giving and she feels blessed to be doing what she loves.  In addition to her work at SPOHNC, Caputo is on the editorial board of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and on the EAB SPORE for Head and Neck Cancer at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

One of Mary Ann''s favorite quotes: "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much” Helen Keller.

SPOHNC, a not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) organization, has become a vital component of the healing process for head and neck cancer patients. It has had an enormous positive impact on meeting the psychosocial needs of patients as well as preserving, restoring, and promoting physical and emotional health. A support organization, such as SPOHNC, can also be the foundation for patient and family education and awareness.

This is the first of 20 new episodes of SMMTC.  Denise gives a few highlights from this season and also speaks on the importance of what comes after the words: I AM.

The words "I AM" are potent words; Be careful what you hitch them to. The thing you are claiming has a way of reaching back and claiming you.  In this solo episode with Denise she will dig deep into the power of what comes after the "I AM" and how we can be mindful about what we say to ourselves about ourselves.
