targeted therapy drug to avoid the recurrence of her lung
cancer and undergo radiation to avoid recurrence of her
breast cancer.
“I thought I was finished and I could go back to
normal life... at least until I needed to have the other
breast removed, as a prophylactic precaution,” she said. “I
just remember bursting into tears in her office.”
Today, Sigler has completed her treatments and is
once again cancer free.
Sigler credits her near lack of side effects from the
chemotherapy with several things, but mostly her
determination to keep a positive outlook. She renamed
chemo “healing juice” and radiation “radiant light”
treatments.
“This last journey has given me more of an insight
into the power of healing in various modalities: the mind,
the body, the emotions and the spirit — and by

integrating all of that is why I’m able to successfully
handle the treatments and the side effects,” she said.
Sigler said it’s important to know one’s body and
believe their intuition. Her motto is to be your own
advocate for your health and if something doesn’t feel
right, let it be known.
“I really do believe that the stories we tell ourselves
and the words we use, those are very instrumental to
how our cells respond.”
Sigler also advises to get regular screenings and
attend routine doctor’s appointments.
“I did have an all clear mammogram in January
2020,” she said. “Breast cancer developed in less than 6
months after cancer screenings.”
Sigler said she doesn’t want to be known as “Sharon
the cancer lady.” That’s not who she is. But she hopes her
story can help someone else. She even hopes to one day
put her radio career to use and host a podcast where
people can share their stories of overcoming, surviving
and thriving.
“We all have a story to tell,” she said. “I think in the
sharing of our stories, we can have community and heal
ourselves, or heal each other.”
