We go through a journey with Lorre Faszholz, HealingStrong Group Leader, who found a red spot and recounts the journey from the first alarming signs of melanoma to her invasive diagnosis. Lorre's story reminds us how important it is to be our own advocate.

Lorre received a stage 1, and later on, a stage 4 metastatic melanoma diagnosis She shares the emotions and pivotal decisions involved in her treatment, including the anxiety of undergoing a biopsy and the overwhelming relief of finding strength in her faith. Lorre also shares the stress-related health setbacks, and the schedule of lung surgery followed by two years of immunotherapy.

Beyond her medical journey, Lorre emphasizes the power of community and lifestyle changes in the healing process. She discusses how her husband's adoption of a plant-based diet led to remarkable improvements in his health and the benefits of growing their own food. The conversation extends to her leadership in a cancer support group through and with the support of HealingStrong.
