THE HEALING POWERS OF MUSIC
When I was undergoing chemo, I ALWAYS brought my music with me. Some patients enjoyed it as well. I would make and bring several cassettes (1998)to share. I remember an instance being wheeled into the OR and heard country music. I asked if they could change the station because country wasn't my favorite genre. :)
I saw this story on CNN and wished I had had that nurse! He really cared and showed it through his music. I believe music is VERY healing, soothing and caring goes a long way toward a patient's progress.
