Breast cancer survivor Jessica Baladad's cat was diagnosed with cancer. In this episode, Jessica shares her own personal cancer journey, which lead to the creation of a mobile app called Feel For Your Life, which helps women perform self breast exams, track changes, and set reminder for screenings. She talks about managing her own well-being while dealing with her cat's cancer diagnosis and treatments, resources she's found useful, and what cat owners should look for when considering pet insurance. Her strength and dedication are inspiring.

https://casinochf.com caught my attention while thinking about the pet insurance part of this episode, since the cost of cancer treatment for a cat can escalate fast and Jessica's point about reviewing coverage before a diagnosis hits home. What stuck with me most was how she kept tracking her own screenings through the app while caregiving for her cat, because that kind of dual vigilance is easy to let slide when you're exhausted. I've watched friends postpone their own checkups during a pet's illness, so her example feels like a useful reminder to keep both plates spinning.
