Comedies That Heal

Dina With Her Life Partner Jim

I (Susan) recently interviewed Dina Ferreira, a very attractive woman in her forties from Brazil, for my upcoming Inspirational Comedy book which explores the healing benefits of humor, laughter, fun and play.  She was diagnosed with an extremely serious form of brain cancer and went to many different medical experts who all gave her the same diagnosis and a very short time to live – six months to be exact.  But she never gave up and finally she met a doc at UCLA, Dr Cloughsey,  who was willing to support her in her conviction that she could survive and heal from her brain tumor.

And now over three and a half years later, she is not just surviving, she is thriving!  She has set up a website to help and inspire others, linked to a UCLA website, which is listed below.  She is so much more than a cancer survivor!  She is involved in a cancer support group and she has set up a fund to help cancer research.

I asked her what she attributes her success to, and how she healed from her brain cancer and she cited several very important factors that helped her dramatically.  We will be going into those in more depth next time.  But she did give me her favorite funny movies to tell you.  The movies that helped inspire her and made her laugh.  They will be going into my upcoming book “Cheer Up!  Laugh Your Way to Health With Inspirational Comedy 101″.  You will also find them in an upcoming post

Her current favorite inspirational comedies are: “Mama Mia” and “Wall E”.

Dina’s website is:    http://www.ugbf.org Go online and check it out. You will find it very interesting.  She is involved in fundraising  for UCLA and research into brain  tumors -  brain cancer research to find enhanced cancer treatments.
