hello and welcome to another episode of despite the challenges a show where we showcase people with amazing abilities who not only have overcome their impeding circumstances but they go out in the of difficulties after going through that cancer and then retaining my job because of a lot of difficulties that getting a job after the cancer because of the insurance and the was emotionally drained and that was not the best news for me to be diagnosed with that cancer answer and you mentioned a year after your husband's death yes and i have been here after it is just a couple of let me go after that and then i have to go and find retrain myself so that they can gainfully employed and so now you have children to look after you lost your husband you are grieving that you are fighting for your job already training yourself and because so you have insurance to take care of had so off is this takes really incredible strength inner strength to be able to not only overcome but face research ok and my is emotionally draining financially challenging and physically extremely broad overcoming illness such as cancer and trying to work full time yes there and and once i was able to establish myself and gainfully employed i wanted to reach out to th community to see it it's so good for you to go out and tell people still you can live your life to the full extent in spite of all the difficulties now there are a lot of resources available you know you hope by talking about this disease even the people are thinking in other words kind of time bomb you're not going to far away this this and that there are a lot of opportunities there a lot of information is that ye whole lot but i want to just kind of stay with you on that part of where when you were going through treatment all these challenges like coming at you from all or in the middle of that keeping yourself focused and having children look up to you for strength while you need to  somewhere i understand that and did you have any kind of family support to take care of you to help you not really dark was the only which was lacking because all my family is in how what the workplace were they supportive to you i really is not really in specially twenty years ago there's a lot of discrimination because all the insurance and go up what kind of work you did i used to work with princeton packet ok and and that so i had to leave the job retrain myself to some other place now after some time work community work or whatever you want all the absolutely because you know if you're not financially secure or emotionally does destabilizing you right you're fighting an illness you're grieving you have lost a partner and children are going up so they just there's a whole lot of uncertainty and do what you ever told or you fear that cancer can come back you're to do this after a fight ten years four years ten years i'm telling you you know it's not going to get to me because i have other priorities in my life you know to make sure that my daughter gets settled because if you disease free are not going to get it those kind of things that it comes as a problem not for me but for the in your society community so it became  with such a terminal or a serious disease such as cancer no one chooses to do that right and going through some sort of stigma that because someone in the family has that the children might also become ill that's that might may not right it's an lot of emotional on your journey the turning points in your life when you were completely in you knew that your cancer free way back you said ever took four or five so i am very happy person right now you know i am enjoying my life i don't have to lead a happy person i want to give it to the community back telling i am a good example in spite of all the challenges still you cancer and thinking about children and all health insurance is a big big now days it's come a long way after twenty years nowadays because of the new laws priorities are different right now but still i feel that you have to reach out to the people who need some help they're not reaching out but people still keep to among themselves there is some help through those stages what we're your goals for yourself and how you how did this come about that you want to go help others because i inspiration to help others that because you saw in the community a lot of other people yes maybe going through it but not speaking about it making about absolutely my heart really feels for them that's what medically you can get all the information because of the internet and so many other information with a doctor treatment another thing but emotional support they need all that so with any kind of see people are opening up or people are opening up because of the internet you can share more information with the facebook or fulfill media and all the other information but still i think that one what would you recommend based on your experiences and what you have gained knowledge with your contribution or learning process what can be made over to them in terms of emotional support is that more of a faith based services different languages maybe more support groups what would you suggest there is more support to go but we have to inform them through this kind of media so that they should know that this is still available whatever they want i don't know why it is more something they don't want to share i don't know what is holding them back a lack of communication i think a mindset maybe this is something more else that you would like to give a message who are you while with any kind of local organization are you helping in a certain community or any faith based organization where they can find you know get in touch with you once you talk about the religion and faith everybody just want to go out of it but nobody want to talk about the religion that is it in a city anything understand it's both ways it does give you something to connect to at the same time if that's not what you're looking for you're looking for more of an emotional support i just speak the languages if they need a language barrier or be a flake and go and vote i don't think there's a language barrier not there anymore i agree with you find it some time people feel more comfortable speaking their native to someone and associated with them but most often they can communicate lead material go on the internet and find that confuses more you know nowadays  through internet anything but i am talking about like emotional support that you know you have to be in the company employee have them to try company of people and you can only you know i can help you but i can't force you to take my help i hope the viewers who are watching the show and if they know anyone in the community that's looking for some lived your life and a happy yes productive citizen of the community helping others we need more people like you you know what i mean hope in with
