President's Project 2024-2025: Michelle's Place Cancer Resource Center



A cancer diagnosis is always a shock -- more so for a healthy young woman like Michelle Watson, who was vegan, studied holistic medicine, and was interested in joining the Peace Corps. Michelle shared concerns about a lump in her breast on several occasions to different medical providers. Each time she was assured she was too young and healthy for any concern. It was her Peace Corps physical examination that prompted a biopsy, and finally, a diagnosis of Stage IV breast cancer… at the age of 23.

Michelle was desperate to find others who understood the emotional toll that cancer takes.  She found support at the Santa Barbara Breast Cancer Resource Center- the first place Michelle said that someone cared about her as a person.

She envisioned a local resource center in the Temecula Valley that would offer the same emotional comfort, support, and hope. The Center she dreamed of would include both educational and supportive components for the whole family.

Instead of focusing on missed opportunities, Michelle’s family and friends chose to take positive action and bring Michelle’s wish to reality. Michelle’s Place Cancer Resource Center began in 2001 as a way for the family and friends to honor her final wish of creating a place of comfort and support for people fighting cancer, because “No One Should Face Cancer Alone!"

Michelle always shared her knowledge and experience in battling cancer in a positive, uplifting way. This continues to be the goal for Michelle’s Place every day.

Michelle’s Place offers all services at no cost to the community, tailored to meet the needs of the client: financial assistance, support groups, comfort items (wigs, prosthetics, etc.), wellness classes, a behavioral health team, and educational resources.

Michelle’s Place is the only local cancer resource center, serving all cancers, for individuals and their families facing cancer. Serving the Counties of Riverside, San Bernadino, and North San Diego, more than 70 NEW clients each month seek out supportive services.  Hundreds of clients attend classes, support groups, and programs.

Michelle’s Place now has a location in Fallbrook.  Let’s use this year to see how we can be of service to them.
