Before her diagnosis, Melinda Nelson was a plant-based health coach, avid organic juicer, triathlete, and yogi. At 32, she was diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma, a rare, one-in-a-million cancer with only one FDA-approved treatment. She found motivation and inspiration in the documentary Heal, which she played on repeat as she fell asleep. After surgery to remove a cortisol-secreting, 24-centimeter adrenal tumor, she started treatment but experienced recurrence in her spine, hips, shoulder, lungs, and liver, leading her to pursue multiple treatments and procedures with a dedicated team of specialists. Her tumors have remained stable and inactive since November 2022, and she continues to support her well-being through complementary practices such as acupuncture, hypnotherapy, and sound baths. In 2024, Melinda became a founding member and vice president of Adrenal Cure Collective, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing adrenal cancer research, and she now co-hosts Talk Cancer to Me, a podcast exploring the realities of life with cancer beyond oncology appointments. adrenalcurecollective.orgTiktok and Instagram: @MelindacnelsonTalk Cancer to Me PodcastRadical Remission DocuseriesTrailer to Heal Documentary _________

Judi was first diagnosed with Stage 1 Endometrial Carcinoma in 2011 after undergoing a hysterectomy. Because no additional treatment was recommended at that time, she was monitored through observation and was declared cancer free five years later. One year later, in 2017, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Low Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (LGESS), which had not been identified during her original hysterectomy. By that time, the cancer had seeded throughout her abdomen. Since 2017, Judi has been actively treated with various systemic hormone therapies and the disease has remained stable. The Radical Remission factors helped her feel less alone and more grounded throughout her cancer journey. As challenges arose, she incorporated all the healing factors into her daily life at various times, using them to navigate the ups and downs with greater resilience, hope, and intention. These factors continue to provide a meaningful framework for daily living and aging gracefully. _____________________
