Breast Cancer at 8! Chrissy Turner’s Story After Mastectomy | Oz Health
Chrissy Turner was diagnosed with breast cancer at just 8 years old. After a successful mastectomy, she and her parents join Dr. Oz to share their experience and a message of hope.
Chrissy’s 2015 diagnosis of secretory breast carcinoma, an extremely rare form of breast cancer, drew international attention. In this Oz Health interview, the family reflects on facing the diagnosis, navigating surgery, and supporting Chrissy through recovery. Her story offers a personal look at childhood cancer and the strength of family support.
Later, surgical oncologist Dr. Kristi Funk joins a separate discussion about lifestyle habits and cancer risk. The segment covers vitamin D, green tea, whole foods, curcumin spice blends, and approaches to managing pain after surgery without opioids. These topics are discussed in the episode, but individual foods and supplements are not proven to cut cancer risk in half.
