I was recently diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer with lymph node involvement. I’ve now undergone two surgeries to remove the tumors and affected lymph nodes. The most recent surgery revealed significant scar tissue, and I’ll need at least a month of physical therapy before I can begin radiation and likely chemotherapy.

Even with insurance, the out-of-pocket costs—surgery, PT, imaging, treatment, lost wages, and day-to-day basics—are stacking up fast.

I’m raising $10,000 to help cover:

  • Medical expenses (coinsurance, copays, prescriptions)

  • Transportation to appointments

  • Groceries, rent, and everyday needs while I focus on healing

💛 Other ways to help:

  • Venmo: @TeamMellyVibes

  • Gift cards (FreshDirect, etc.): melodytam1@gmail.com

Whether you’re able to donate, share, or send good vibes—thank you for being part of #TeamMelly. Your support is carrying me through this.

💛 Proton Therapy Complete — Light at the End of the Tunnel 💛

I’m finally done with proton therapy.
It feels surreal to say that.

I had a rough start — a lot of pain, medication changes that flared symptoms, and overwhelming fatigue. There were moments when it felt like my body was carrying more than it could handle. But slowly, week by week, I kept going.

Now I’m on the other side — resting, healing, and letting my body recover from this most recent chapter of treatment. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and I’m starting to feel it.

I can’t thank you enough for your unwavering support throughout all of this. Every message, share, donation, and act of kindness helped carry me through the hardest days. Truly. I would not have gotten here without #TeamMelly behind me.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you for walking this road with me. 💛

💛 Chemo Complete 💛

I did it — chemo is officially done. 💪
It’s been two weeks since my last infusion, and I’m still very fatigued but slowly recovering. I’m taking my time to rest and let my body rebuild after everything it’s been through.

Next up is radiation — 6 weeks, 5 days a week — and starting medication management to keep this fight going strong.

I’m proud, relieved, and honestly just tired — but still here, still healing, and still moving forward one day at a time.

Thank you for continuing to walk beside me through every stage. Your support has carried me this far, and it means the world. 💛

Round 5 of chemo hit hard—but I also celebrated another year around the sun.


It wasn’t the birthday I imagined (hello, side effects), but I made it to dinner, I had cake, and I felt loved. A very unbirthday birthday... but I was here. And that’s everything.

I’ve now lost about 70% of my hair and developed a bit of a wig habit. The fatigue has been no joke—but I’m still showing up, still laughing, still fighting.

Thank you for being part of this journey and part of #TeamMelly. Every message, share, donation, and kind gesture helps me keep going—especially now, when things are feeling heavy.

💛 Chemo Update: 4 Down, 2 to Go 💛

I just completed round 4 of chemo—2/3 of the way through.
It’s getting harder. The fatigue is hitting deeper and it’s been more mentally challenging, but I’m still showing up for myself, day by day.

I’ve lost about 60% of my hair now—but I haven’t lost my fight.

Your support—through messages, shares, donations, and kindness—has carried me through every round. Truly.

Thank you for being part of #TeamMelly and reminding me I’m not in this alone. 💛

💛 Chemo Update: Halfway There 💛

I’m officially halfway through chemo—3 down, 3 to go. I’m on day 4 after infusion #3, and while the fatigue hits harder each time, I’m still managing to get out, move my body, and focus on rest when I need it.

I’ve lost about 50% of my hair now, and while that’s been tough, I’m reminding myself this is temporary and healing is the goal.

Thank you for continuing to walk with me through this. Your support, messages, donations, and shares are keeping me steady—emotionally and financially.
