Upcoming Show - Ilse Anderson!

“Practice gratitude, hold your loved ones close, banish negativity. Say yes to life.” That is Ilse Anderson's motto. In recognition of April as Oral Cancer Awareness Month, our guest on WSOU 89.5 FM at 8:30am April 28 is Ilse Anderson - author of "Say Yes to Life." On Saturday's show, Ilse will discuss her personal experience and recovery from oral cancer. She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a masters degree in Latin America Studies, and spent time traveling the world. Unfortunately, on May 22, 2015, her life was changed when her doctor informed her that she had stage four oral cancer. After a three-quarter glossectomy and a tracheotomy, she awoke unable to swallow, speak, or move. Despite her physical, emotional, and spiritual struggles, Ilse was able to persevere and battle negative feelings such as hopelessness. She attributes her success to a combination of support from family and friends, an inner strength developed over years of spiritual-seeking, and a positive attitude. Tune in to hear her inspirational story!
