I am a brain cancer (Primary CNS lymphoma) survivor in my third year of remission.
I learned a lot during my entire year of chemo treatment and during my second year of recovery. My doctors recommended me to sign into their holistic program with the neuro-oncology students at Columbia Medical Center in NYC. They basically offered me the traditional path to treat side effects or a newer integrative alternative consisting of yoga, meditation, aromatherapy, acupuncture, massage sessions.
I also had the opportunity to volunteer at the infusion center where I was guided to help patients with different tasks. Some of them were art therapy, counseling by sharing my own journey, and aromatherapy sessions. I am currently finishing my certification as an Aromatherapist. I am thankful for surviving and for being able to help other people going through a similar journey.
