Melissa Canaday is one of those celebrities who like to keep their personal life out of the eyes of the public. She and her husband Edward James Hyland are very private people and hardly share information about their lives. Her daughter Sarah Jane Hyland suffered from many health issues when she was born. One of the health problems she was diagnosed with was Kidney dysplasia, a condition which eventually results in the failure of the organ. Melissa was slated to be her donor, but wasn’t able to do so as she herself was diagnosed with breast cancer. Consequently, Melissa’s husband acted as a donor for her daughter in the year 2012.

Melissa’s journey during her treatment was a difficult one. She was very disappointed in the beginning as due to her health issue, she wasn’t able to be a donor for her daughter. Melissa had no family history of breast cancer and it came as a shock when she heard this news from her radiologist. Melissa attributes her son to be her biggest support during her treatment period. Her daughter Sarah and her husband Edward had to be out of town due to work commitments. It was her son Ian, who was in High School at the time, who took care of her. With the love and support of her family and friends, Melissa underwent several treatments like triple lumpectomy, chemotherapy, node resection and radiation. All these treatments helped her recover and she was announced to be cancer free.
After her recovery from breast cancer, she decided to participate in the Avon Walk. She was able to raise money for the people who suffer from breast cancer and doesn’t have enough money for treatment. According to her biography, her salary as well as net worth is not disclosed.
