Suzanne Whang — Still Feisty and Funny

Some time ago, when I wrote about her disappearance from House Hunters, a reader asked me what Suzanne Whang’s status was. This long-time cancer survivor with a few impressive psychology credentials to her name was still struggling to beat back the big beast. These days? Suzanne Whang is busy tweeting and posting. That’s good news for fans.

If you’re looking to find her and follow her on Twitter, her user name is @suzannewhang. Fair warning — this lady is NOT for burning. She’s not demure or dainty. She could easily beat back the toughest sailor on the waterfront with her salty language (Hey — cancer survivors HAVE to be tough!)

If you want to find her and follow her on Facebook, she’s Suzanne Whang:

Why do cancer survivors and those just starting out need to hear from her?  Because it takes real courage to fight a disease like this, and attitude is everything. Suzanne is NOT one to hold back on that front. That’s okay. Maybe, if nothing else, hearing it from her will spike your interest in not surrendering to this monster under the bed. You won’t be as afraid to confront the elephant in the room. And if you like to live vicariously, she’ll be happy to say all those incredibly rude, outrageous things you’ve been thinking. She might even get you to laugh. And laughter is always the best medicine for whatever ails you. There are real physical benefits from a belly laugh — you breathe better, your blood flows better, your mental health improves. But it’s what a good belly laugh does for the human spirit that counts the most. Rise above cancer, even just for a moment, and you are no longer in its grip. Set that disease aside and you get to live your life again because you choose to laugh, instead of cry. Take back the “remote control” on your life and fill it with mirth. You may not control the events you experience, but you sure control the replay action. Never forget that.
