I'M SO EXCITED TO BE HERE.
YOU ARE A WARRIOR.
YOU'RE STILL FIGHTING.
LIFE HAS THROWN YOU LOTS OF
CURVES.
TELL US ABOUT WHAT'S BEEN
HAPPENING.
BACK IN 2013, I WAS 25 AND I
WAS DIAGNOSED WITH STAGE III
BREAST CANCER INITIALLY.
SO, IN THE BEGINNING OF THE
PROCESS OF OPENING UP MY
BOUTIQUE, I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW
ABOUT THE DIFFERENT PRODUCTS
THAT WERE OUT THERE.
AS SOON AS I ENDED UP HAVING MY
DOUBLE MASTECTOMY, I DID A
LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT
ABOUT THE POST OPERATIVE
GRAFTING FOR BREAST CANCER
PATIENTS.
I OPENED A BOUTIQUE IN OCTOBER
OF LAST YEAR.
2020 HAS BEEN A ROUGH RIDE FOR
EVERYONE.
I WAS REDIAGNOSED WITH STAGE IV
THIS TIME AROUND.
IT WAS A HARD THING TO ADJUST IN
THE PROCESS OF GOING THROUGH
WORK AND GOING THROUGH THE
PROCESS, THE CHEMOTHERAPY,
TRYING TO GET MY MIND ADJUSTED
AND GOING THROUGH CHEMOTHERAPY
AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
I SAID, LORD, IF YOU ALLOW ME TO
LIVE, I'M GOING TO CONTINUE TO
HELP PEOPLE WITH BREAST CANCER.
YOU ARE STILL GOING THROUGH
THIS JOURNEY BUT IT IS
INCREDIBLE THAT YOU ARE LOOKING
TO HELP OTHER WOMEN.
A REALLY SELFLESS ACT.
YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH IT.
YOU KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE.
TELL ME ABOUT SOME OF THE
FEELINGS THAT YOU WERE FEELING
AS YOU LOST YOUR BREAST AND SOME
OF THE THINGS THAT MAKE US FEEL
LIKE WOMEN.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
INITIALLY WHEN I LOST MY
BREAST AT 25, OF COURSE, I
COMPARED THAT WITH LOSS.
AS WOMEN, WE ARE ALL ABOUT
BEAUTY AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
ONCE I LOOKED AT MYSELF IN THE
MIRROR AND REALIZED YOU ARE
STILL BEAUTIFUL NO MATTER WHERE
LIFE MIGHT TAKE YOU.
I WANTED IT TO BE A REFUGE FOR
OTHER WOMEN.
WHEN THEY COME AND SEE ME, THEY
CAN SEE THE GLORY OF GOD AND SEE
THEY CAN BEAT THIS CANCER AND
STILL BE BEAUTIFUL IN THE FIGHT.
I AM ON THE WAY TO TEARS.
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.
SUCH A YOUNG AGE TO BE DIAGNOSED
WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
TO FIGHT THE WAY YOU HAVE IS
INCREDIBLE.
YOU'VE CREATED THIS HAVEN FOR
WOMEN TO COME AND FEEL
BEAUTIFUL.
TELL US ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT YOU DO.
IT'S CLOTHING, BUT IT'S SO MUCH
MORE THAN THAT.
IT'S SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT.
MY BOUTIQUE IS FOR WOMEN WHO
LOST THEIR BREAST DUE TO BREAST
CANCER.
THEY CAN GET MASTECTOMY BRAS,
GARMENTS AND BREAST PROSTHETICS
AS WELL AS DRAINAGE TUBE
HOLDERS.
THERE'S AN RARE OF THINGS.
THEY CAN COME AND GET HEAD WEAR.
EVEN COME AND TO ACTUALLY RELAX.
MY SECOND BOUTIQUE IS ALSO A
SPA.
I AM A LICENSED.
THEY CAN COME SEE ME AND I CAN
HAVE THEM JUST RELAX AND FORGET
ABOUT THINGS FOR AWHILE.
WE WANT TO INVITE EVERYBODY
TO VISIT YOU, MELODY.
YOU CAN GO TO BEAUTIFUL BODY AND
MORE.COM.
ALSO, WHERE CAN THEY CONTINUE,
MELODY?
THEY CAN SEE ME AT MY
BOUTIQUE AT 1907 VINCENT ROAD,
BOSIER CITY.
THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT THESE
GARMENTS, MOST INSURANCES WILL
PAY FOR THESE GARMENTS.
LOT OF PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW THIS.
I HAVE TEAMED UP WITH A
NONPROFIT THAT WILL ALSO CATER
AND PAY FOR THOSE PRODUCTS FOR
THE YOUNG LADIES.
MELODY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR BEING WITH US AND BEING
BRAVE ENOUGH TO SHARE YOUR
STORY.
I KNOW THAT YOU'RE TOUCHING A
LOT OF PEOPLE, LOT OF WOMEN WHO
ARE GOING THROUGH THE SAME
THING.
