BREAST CANCER BIO
Dr. Suzanne Metzger, President & CEO of Corporate Masters, Inc.
www.corporatemasters.com 317-837-1868 suzanne@corporatemasters.com

Dr. Suzanne Metzger is a 15 year breast cancer survivor. Having had a lumpectomy and having gone through chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and hormone therapy, she is certainly aware of what it takes to survive and cope with a disease that requires a very harsh treatment. She knows how important it is for us to have the right attitude. For what others see for us or in us is of little consequence as to what we see for or in ourselves.

Over the past 10 years, she has been asked to speak at international breast cancer meetings, led survivor walks, worked for the major breast cancer awareness groups, served on boards for awareness and fund raising, and helped develop new material for survivors.

She is the co-author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Living with Breast Cancer and the author of Learning Through Living…Some Assembly Required as well as a columnist for “Regarding Women”.

She speaks to survivors’ groups on “Perspective” and to medical professionals on “From a Survivor’s Point of View” (descriptions below). Some of the groups she has spoken to on these topics are:

Perspective: Our Mind's Eye

Have you ever gone out with someone for a romantic, candlelit dinner, and during the dinner, your partner tells you that you look good in dim light?  You have to think about that don’t you?

Perspective is “the relationship of aspects of a subject to each other and to a whole.”  And, most of the time, we are the ones who make that relationship!

As a Breast Cancer Survivor, Dr. Metzger knows what it means to have the right kind of perspective. What others see for us or in us is of little consequence to what we see for or in ourselves. We have the ability to take most situations and make them a Recipe for Misery or Happiness, and we can do it in a New York Minute. We will take a strong look at our "mind's eye" and try to develop a better, and many times more humorous, understanding of what we truly see.

From a Survivor’s Point of View

We, as breast cancer survivors, are so incredibly grateful to all the medical professionals who are, in part, responsible for our survival! Right now, there are an estimated 8.9 million cancer survivors out there. This is due to your efforts, training, care, professionalism and interest in our welfare.

We, as survivors, want to help add some insight on what it is like to be a survivor, to go beyond the clinical picture, and to treat the patient as well as the disease.
