Cancer has a devastating effect both on those it afflicts and those around them.

For Melanie Staudt her cancer journey was full of challenges that often felt insurmountable.

Melanie is 51 years old, lives in the US in Ohio and is married with two girls age 22 and 18.

She was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2021. It was three years of intensive healing and has had no evidence of disease for a year and a half. She continues to work on physical, mental and spiritual health and looks forward to life’s next chapter.

In this episode she shares:

- Why she identifies most with a monarch butterfly

- What happened for her in the early days leading up to breast cancer discovery

- Getting her biopsy and preparing for bad news

- How the initial bad news led to positivity in her life

- The moment she got more bad news and her experience of detaching from her body

- How she discussed her reservations about chemo with her husband

- What her treatment options were and what she decided

- When she saw a naturopathic doctor and her experience with craniosacral massage

- When she got imaging done and got the all clear
