This week Michelle Fern welcomes Jessica Baladad, five-year cancer survivor, the creator of Feel For Your Life, a free mobile application that provides resources on how to perform self breast exams and when to get screenings, while allowing users to track and monitor their changes and set reminders. An unexpected breast cancer diagnosis at 33 years old empowered Jessica to channel her experience into a mission that is changing the way women advocate for their medical care. It’s the first of its kind created by a breast cancer patient and has been downloaded tens of thousands of times all over the world. About a year ago, Jessica's cat was diagnosed with cancer and Jessica regularly administers chemo to her furry friend. She is a major advocate for better access to pet insurance. Jessica discusses the importance of having a financial plan for your pet...at any age, and what it is like caring for a pet going through Cancer, and how to care for them properly.
