The Great White Light
“You won’t believe what happened to me yesterday,” Fayrose Gordon excitedly shares with me on the
phone. “I won the jackpot!” This is typical Fayrose. Perpetually upbeat, with a glowing radiance that

and downs. While undergoing
a round of chemotherapy
in 2008, she met the second love of
her life, Irv, who passed away a few
months ago, following an accident.
But, Fayrose takes this and her
diagnosis on the chin.“Life is about
accepting things,” she says. “If you
don’t accept, it becomes a negative
thing. Accept it, and then say, ‘Now

In her book, The Great White

Pain, Fayrose shares the secret to
how she’s successfully managed to
maintain a positive attitude that has
helped her and both her daughters
beat cancer (even with grim diagnoses). “There is a form of unknown
energy that exists around us, in our
world and throughout our universe,”
Fayrose explains. “When you read
someone’s thoughts, or communicate
thoughts and feelings without words
– all this I see as a form of powerful
and untapped energy.” She believes
that using this energy, which she calls
the “Great White Light” is the secret
to handling emotional crisis and
physical pain.
Fayrose credits this “Great White
Light” with inspiring her to keep
going. She says, “In five years of
Stage 4 cancer, I’ve lived a normal
life. I have no pain or symptoms. I
wouldn’t know I have cancer unless
