At just 32 years old, Michelle's life took an unexpected turn when a persistent pain led to the discovery of a 10-centimeter tumor in her chest. As a newlywed navigating life after the loss of her mother to cancer, Michelle faced her own diagnosis with determination and resilience.

In this cancer vlog, Michelle opens up about the challenges of chemotherapy, the emotional toll of losing her hair, and how cancer transformed her identity. Now a certified integrative nutrition health coach, she dedicates her life to helping other survivors heal and rebuild.
