Music to Help Overcome Cancer

Your family and friends your professional life your mental health your sex life... Cancer affects much more than just your organs. From the patient-doctor relationship to complementary therapies the elements that can help you in the healing process are abundant - and music which has been scientifically proven is one of them in part thanks to its capacity to induce strong emotions. None of these therapies is in itself a miracle cure but together with medical treatments they can enable patients to live better with cancer and increase their chances of recovery.Min-Jung Kym a pianist and Alain Toledano a radiation oncologist have experienced this personally. She has survived two cancers and explains here how music helped her well beyond her professional practice. He founded the Institut Rafaël a centre for Integrative Medicine near Paris entirely dedicated to his cancer patients. He was her doctor. This book was inspired by their encounter.
