Enter Cancer Fashionista, a platform she's built to help patients and survivors navigate cancer without sacrificing their self-confidence, self-worth, and self-empowerment.

In this episode of Your Stories, Melissa shares her story—including how she turned her cancer journey into a brand and a platform that reaches thousands of patients and survivors every day.
