and Suzanne Somers in Their Fall 2019 Issue Honoring Breast Cancer
Awareness Month
POWER Magazine's cover girl for their fall 2019 issue is award-winning actress, designer,
businesswoman and role model, Jaclyn Smith. Her breast cancer was discovered during her yearly
mammogram. She had a lumpectomy and radiation in 2002. Jaclyn remains vigilant about her follow-up
care. She credits her family for being her inspiration throughout this difficult time. She stresses that no
one should go through cancer alone.
Suzanne Somers, actress, author, singer, businesswoman and health advocate was diagnosed with breast
cancer in 2001. She underwent a lumpectomy and radiation, but declined to undergo chemotherapy. After
doctors misdiagnosed her with inoperable cancer, Suzanne decided to interview doctors about cancer
treatments. Those interviews became the basis of her controversial book, “Knockout,” about alternative
treatments to chemotherapy.
Paula Schneider is a breast cancer survivor diagnosed in 2007. She is the president and CEO of Susan G.
Komen®, the world's largest breast cancer organization. She lost her mother to metastatic breast cancer in
2010. Paula is determined to do all that she can to move forward on this iconic organization's mission to
end breast cancer.
Actress, director, producer and philanthropist, Fran Drescher is a 19-year uterine cancer survivor. She
was misdiagnosed for two years by eight doctors. As a result of this, Fran wrote her book, “Cancer
Schmancer,” and founded the Cancer Schmancer Movement whose mission is to educate, prevent and
activate patients. In addition, Fran was instrumental in passing the Gynecologic Cancer Education and
Awareness Act of 2005.
These celebrities highlighted in the fall issue of POWER Magazine-Professional Organization of Women
of Excellence Recognized and on powerwoe.com have stated that being a survivor led them to start or
join businesses and foundations or write books to help others fight the fight. This issue of POWER
Magazine-Professional Organization of Women of Excellence Recognized also features a detailed list of
cancer assistance contacts for all different needs, including phone numbers, websites and helpful
information.
By devoting this issue to cancer survivors and including important contact information, it is POWER's
hope that it will serve as a source to enlighten women about this disease and assist those going through it.
