Music therapy and cancer

Last week we had a good thread and discussion about "cancer therapy dogs," a form of supplemental cancer therapy now in use, along with seeing a couple of videos about it.

Well, here's something about another form of supplemental therapy, namely music therapy.

This is one of those things that's pretty obvious, that music therapy helps reduce stress, improve mood, etc., thus possibly contributing at least in some degree to relief of cancer symptoms. That's the theory, anyway.

Here's a video discussion that describes the process in a little more detail:

I guess the bottom line is: if it helps even a little bit, why not try it?

I play loud classic rock in my car. I find that and the whine of the turbo to be very therapeutic
