Michelle Sandlin
Award-Winning Writer, Bestselling Author, Poet, and Breast Cancer Survivor.
Everything changed in June of 2021, when I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Much of my writing and creativity was put on hold so that I could focus on my fight. And fight I did! After 16 rounds of Chemo, a double mastectomy, reconstruction surgeries, and the preemptive removal of my ovaries and fallopian tubes, I am now CANCER-FREE!
While going through treatment, I openly shared my journey, through raw video messages, photos, and of course writing. So now, I have told my tale through my newly published, bestselling book:
CANCER DON’T CARE.
Hi, I’m Michelle. Welcome to my world.
I spent the better part of the past decade as a freelance writer and columnist. During that time, I wrote a weekly column for the Houston Chronicle, which ran from 2013 through 2020. As a columnist, I have written over 500 published articles. My work has also been featured multiple times in various business publications, magazines, corporate articles, white papers, and blogs.
But, everything changed in June of 2021, when I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Much of my writing and creativity was put on hold so that I could focus on my fight. And fight I did! After 16 rounds of Chemo, a double mastectomy, reconstruction surgeries, and the preemptive removal of my ovaries and fallopian tubes, I am now CANCER-FREE!
While going through treatment, I openly shared my journey, through raw video messages, photos, and of course writing. So now, I am now telling my tale through my bestselling memoir: CANCER DON’T CARE.

My Poetry
Being a writer is not a job.
It is not a choice.
It is a state of being.
It is at the core of my existence.
Nothing will stand in its way and nothing can prevent it.
It’s my creative mastermind.
It’s the course I travel blindly, but with an open heart.
It is the life I lead.
It’s the introspection and observation.
It’s where I find meaning.
CANCER DON’T CARE
