About me

Hello! My name is Melinda, and I’m a lymphoma survivor. Here I am with Joy, our little Australian Shepherd puppy giving me a high five the day I got the all clear. Cancer was a foreign concept to me until March 2022, when I was diagnosed with a stage 4 Large Diffuse B-Cell Lymphoma. Thankfully, after a very long and painful journey, I made it to the other side. 

In this book, my aim is to help anyone faced with a cancer diagnosis, providing a raw and unfiltered account of what it is like to go through this, providing tips and advice I wish I had received. As a result of this experience, I’m a staunch advocate of photobiomodulation (PBM) technology, which has helped me overcome serious cancer treatment side effects.

I'm not a medical professional, but I'm a fighter, and above all, a human being who understands the emotional rollercoaster of a cancer diagnosis. My approach is one of empathy, understanding, and a healthy dose of humor, because laughter truly is the best medicine! I hope this book helps you or your loved one conquer your own summit.

With love and gratitude, Melinda xo
