Christina Soto likes to say "Live your best life today- Cancer or No Cancer" and that's exactly what she has done. She is a a two-time survivor of stage IV Hodgkin Lymphoma and so in order to get her life back she decided to come up with her own cancer game plan and focus all of her attention away from her sources of pain. She continuously told herself that she was feeling strong and that her body was healing. The more she started to do this, the more alive she felt. She and her partner decided to quit their jobs, sell everything they owned – except what they could fit in their suitcases – start a business and travel the world. This decision was one of the best decisions in her life as she was as happy as she could be, and living out her dreams, but she couldn’t stop thinking about all of her fellow cancer warriors out there who were most likely struggling with the same things she had, and finding little help to overcome them. That’s when the idea for The Cancer GamePlan was born and she has continued...
