Christina's Story

Christina, and 18 year old student living with cancer, came to the Osher Center after a recurrence.

She received acupuncture and nutritional care to cope with the side effects of her treatments, and she joined the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction weekly group program to help with her fears. Her acupuncture treatments helped relieve her nausea and the practice of mindfulness helped Christina to live in the present moment.

Over time, Christina's cancer went into remission. She felt as though this bout with the disease gave her the opportunity to heal and she was able to resume her life with much less fear. Today, Christina is a national spokesperson for children living with and beyond cancer.

Acupuncture helped relieve my nausea and the practice of mindfulness helped me to live in the present moment.

What I learned at the Osher Center was invaluable for managing my cancer.
