  • Surviving and Thriving: Our Story of Healing after Cancer
    Melba Peters and Melissa Christaldi, mother and daughter

    Three generations of women in the Peters family have battled cancer. Melba and Melissa, mother and daughter breast cancer survivors, share their stories of fighting their disease, recovering and thriving. Melba lost her 50-year old mother to cancer and watched her own daughter Melissa go through the pain and ordeal of battling it. Melba tells how faith, strength, courage, attitude and support were her companions during recovery and her experience has made her a different woman. Melissa, diagnosed at age 27 with Stage II cancer four years after her mother’s diagnosis, shares her experiences with treatment, and even the positive effects that having breast cancer has played in her life.
