This Too

Facing a Stage 3C Breast Cancer Diagnosis was not what Melissa expected. At 53, she had a 10cm malignant tumor in her left breast and had to make difficult decisions about treatment. In This Too, she uses a poetic framework to express the range of emotions she experiences. She is passionate about helping others navigate their cancer journey. Sharing stories with other women on the journey helped her get through the hard times and keeps her hopeful every day.
