• LAUGHTER: IT'S GOOD MEDICINE!
  When someone gets a diagnosis of a chronic disease, people around them usually respond with heartfelt good wishes and more than a little dread. They're not likely to throw their heads back and laugh. As a first-hand cancer survivor, Christine can assure you there is nothing remotely funny about finding out you have cancer. But from her personal struggle, Christine knows laughter can be one of the most important aspects of recovery for patients, loved ones and friends. Let her show you how.
