Breast Cancer Warriors
Three female Writers Unite to Fight Cancer warriors who choose to battle cancer with the pen and other positive ways.
Dr. Lise Alschuler is a naturopathic oncologist who is a breast cancer survivor, or as she coins it, thriver. In 2008, Dr. Alschuler was diagnosed with breast cancer. She underwent surgery, received chemotherapy and radiation and remains on hormonal treatment. She has integrated natural supplements, diet, exercise and other lifestyle changes throughout her treatment and, as a result, she has felt like a healthy person with cancer and a healthy person receiving treatment. She has fully recovered from her treatments and remains dedicated to an integrative prevention of recurrence plan. She has incorporated the learnings of her own experience with cancer into her work with others facing the challenges of this disease.
Dr. Lise Alschuler is the co-author of Five To Thrive: Your Cutting-Edge Cancer Prevention Plan, with Karolyn Gazella, medical journalist. Their newest book: The Definitive Guide to Thriving After Cancer: A Five-Step Integrative Plan to Reduce the Risk of Recurrence and Build Lifelong Health focusses on cancer prevention for cancer survivor who have increased risk for reoccurrence and secondary cancers due to chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
Karolyn Gazella started her own publishing company with her mother as her first employee and my sister as the second. She was living her dream until cancer paid a heart-breaking visit. Her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer, their mother died of advanced pancreatic cancer, and Karolyn was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. All of that happened in less than eight months! As I grieved the loss of my mom and began healing from my own cancer, my passion and commitment for this work became even stronger. With my sister by my side, who continues to inspire me to this day, I set out on a path more determined than ever to create high-quality, trusted, scientifically-sound educational information.
Karolyn co-wrote The Definitive Guide to Cancer: An Integrative Approach to Prevention, Treatment, and Healing with Lise Alschuler ND. Together, Lise and Karolyn host the innovative Five to Thrive Radio Show on www.W4CS.com. Tuesday’s programs feature advice that coincides with one of the five key strategies from the Five to Thrive Plan: diet, spirit, movement, rejuvenation, and dietary supplements.

Holly Rose is the founder of Don’t be a Chump! Check for a Lump! She discovered she had breast cancer at the age of 39 after being reminded on Facebook to perform a self-breast exam. She was very fortunate in finding her cancer in the early stages and was able to save her breasts and, more importantly, her life.” Holly Rose shared her inspirational journey through breast cancer and so much more in her book, “Live and Give: Facebooking My Way Through Breast Cancer.” She was inspired to remind other women to perform self-breast exams after hearing woman after woman admit they did not perform their own self-breast exams. Early detection is the key to surviving breast cancer. “I am living proof.”
