She takes on criminals and cancer
By Laurie Roth
Life is full of dangers, battles, and miracles. Don't I know it. August 25, 2005, I was left in a coma and in the hospital two months after a near-fatal motorcycle accident. My life has never been the same. With the severity of all my brain injuries, most thought my life would be at best compromised. I chose to make it better, even with my bad eye and adjustments. I am working, dreaming, and moving forward on many fronts.
My friend, crime blogger, best-selling author, host, survivor, and regular guest on The Roth Show, Susan Murphy Milano, knows all about that. She has survived the fear and horror of her dad, a celebrated cop, murdering her mother, then committing suicide. Susan grew up facing her demons, confronting criminals, and standing with the victims, but she has done more than stand with victims. She has charted a courageous course for them to survive and get out of danger with her evidentiary abuse affidavit. Thousands of lives have been saved because of Susan, and a ray of hope given to victims' families. Find out more at www.documenttheabuse.com.
The crime blogger battles cancer
Just recently, Susan Murphy Milano called me at home and told me she was diagnosed with stage-4 cancer and was starting aggressive treatment. She said the doctors and she were most hopeful, but that she had no health insurance, was praying for healing, and needed help.
Susan has done a weekly segment on my national radio show for more than two years, and I have watched in amazement how she "sleuthed" her way into criminals' faces, and turned cases around with her unique kind of "in your face" pressure. She has invited all kinds of experts onto our weekly segment, who investigate missing person and other criminal events. She has also sat with and cried with family members.
Now, facing serious cancer, Susan would want you all to know that she is no victim — nor does she want anyone's pity — because she is fighting stage-4 cancer. Just as Susan has a knack for putting pressure on the criminal's neck and finding out the truth, she intends to win this battle she faces now with cancer. I guess it takes a survivor of horrific pain, crime, and betrayal like Susan to go where most dare not to go and find ways to keep people alive.
I know Susan to be a woman of faith, who knows the power of prayer. She is loved by all of us who have had the honor and privilege to get to know her. Susan is my friend. I love her dearly and am praying for her daily...for her complete healing. You do the same, please. Let us all go to www.conqueringcancer.me, give a big donation, tell ten more people to do the same, and pray for her.
Thank you, Susan, for making such a difference in our lives. Fight and WIN.
