VIDEO - HERSTORY: Barbara Shares How Mind-Body Medicine Was Used In Her Cancer Treatment

Listen as Barbara recalls how mind-body medicine was integrated into her cancer treatment plan at CTCA.

Barbara:
There’s a naturopath, there are people that will come and help you take care of your diet. Perhaps you want to eat differently, in fact you do. You want to eat a lot more healthfully. There are people that will help you with your pain for instance.

There was one woman that took care of me from the pain department. I remember talking to her about after surgery; I was so frightened about pain and what was going to happen to me. I remember putting my head down on my arms literally, and sobbing. She put her arms around me and she just held on to me for a few minutes and rocked back and forth with me and cried with me and just assured me that she would not let me suffer. And that just made the whole perspective of what was going to happen to me change and I felt safe and I knew that I was going to be okay. That department and that woman just changed everything for me.
