Getting Things Off My Chest
Book Feature - Getting Things Off My Chest by Melanie Young
HBL Note: I posted once before about October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Featuring just one book didn’t do it for me this year, so let’s feature another one! This is one of the more unusual travel guides…but this is definitely the journey that needs the most guidance, and that is the trip through Cancer. Melanie Young, radio host and Certified Holistic Health Coach, wrote this survivor’s guide complete with checklists, questions to ask, and tips as you navigate this unwanted and unplanned journey.

From the publisher:
A passionate traveler, Melanie has written a practical “guide” to help navigate the trip most people didn’t plan for: their journey through Cancer Land. She arms them with the right questions to ask, handy checklists to keep organized and savvy survivor tips to keep them looking and feeling their best every step of the way.
The updated 3rd edition, Melanie shares how her breast implants were recalled in 2019 due to a link to a rare form of cancer and experienced breast implant affliction. She underwent transfer surgery to replace them in summer 2020. With Covid19 considerations, she also overhauled the caregiver and food safety sections of the book.
