Sy Robinson: Surviving Cancer and Thriving Through Adversity

Whatchu Thinkin? Salon Talks with Sy Robinson

When the unimaginable happens, who are the warriors who rise to meet it? How can the love and support from others become your lifeline, your safety net, in the face of adversity? This is my story, Sy Robinson, of a journey through a cancer diagnosis and treatment that threw my world into chaos but also showed me the strength and resilience within me and those who surrounded me.
Navigating the tangled web of doctors and treatment plans wasn't smooth sailing. Kya, my friend, was a beacon of hope, leading me to Dr. Trevor Feinstein, an Oncologist and Dr. Nicole Sroka, a specialized breast surgeon who not only understood my fears but became a pillar of strength during my treatment. People like Dr. Joi Freemont and her mother caring for me in ways I’ll never be able to repay. My husband, Troy, holding me down throughout the ENTIRE PROCESS. I love him so very deeply. Through the fear of the unknown, I found reassurance and comfort in their relentless pursuit of the best possible care for me. When COVID-19 added an extra layer of complexity, my support system, from my nurse and radiologist to my husband, children, and friends, went above and beyond to keep me safe.
In my battle with cancer, I discovered that life's biggest lessons often come dressed in adversity's garb. Losing my hair, fearing the loss of my vision, I came face-to-face with a profound revelation: my identity lay not in my physical attributes but in my spirit, my resilience. This journey was not just about surviving but about learning to thrive in the face of adversity. As a survivor, I share my story, hoping it resonates with and encourages anyone on a similar path. You are not alone; keep hope alive. And remember, there's more to come - we have special guests lined up for the next episodes!
There are so many people that mean the world to me not mentioned by name that I would like to honor here.
