Michelle Mecca, 49, discusses her journey from bodybuilding to battling stage four HER2-positive breast cancer. She started training to lose pregnancy weight and then decided to compete in bikini contests as her next goal. In 2019, she was diagnosed with stage three cancer, undergoing a double mastectomy and multiple surgeries. Despite losing her hair, she maintained a positive attitude, emphasizing exercise’s role in her recovery. The cancer returned 15 months later, leading to a brain tumor diagnosis. Michelle continues aggressive treatment, including chemo and radiation, and advocates for better cancer awareness and support. After a recent surgery, she plans to resume motivational speaking to educate others about stage four cancer.
