When 23-year-old Christina was hospitalised with Influenza A, her test results uncovered she had Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) - a rare and aggressive form of cancer.
Within days her life was turned upside down. She received her first dose of chemotherapy less than a week later, and has since had countless tests and appointments, including a bone marrow transplant.
"Society tells you that your early twenties are the start of your life," Christina shares, who had just finished university and was working as an osteopath.
"A diagnosis like this stops you in your tracks and your whole perspective changes, but the more you bottle it up, the harder it is to go through."
Christina was welcomed into the Sony You Can Centre at RBWH, a space dedicated to supporting young people with cancer, where she could meet with others her age as they traverse these challenges together.
Christina is staying positive and encourages everyone to stay on top of their health. She is looking forward to some upcoming concerts with friends, Christmas with her loved ones and hopes for positive news soon. 🎶🥰🎄
"Have you heard of the Stawell Gift? Well, I was born there, so I`m the gift! I loved to bake, and my husband loved model steam trains. We have lived in Harden, Wyalla, Glenelg, Muttaburra and Baldercombe before moving to Gracemere more recently. I enjoyed cooking and loved when the place we moved to had a combustion wood stove in the kitchen. We were gluttons for punishment and bought a few pubs and a supermarket in our time. I still enjoy meeting socially with people, playing bingo, enjoying morning tea on the trolleys and being entertained."

Registered Nurse Taneal is a dab hand with a brush, and has transformed bland, clinical walls into an inspirational message of hope and recovery. 🎨
Together with staff, patients, and their families, Taneal set the goal of creating a bright and colourful mural that adorns the walls of the Neurological Rehab Gym at RBWH, aiding patients through their rehabilitation.
"Together we explored ideas, colours, and symbols that best reflected their experiences of resilience, recovery, and hope," Taneal shares.
"Every stage of the process was guided by the focus group`s input, and the final design represents not only their stories but also the collective strength of this community.
"It has been such a privilege to bring these voices into the Neurological Rehab Gym, transforming the space into one that carries the spirit of those who use it every day."
