Cancer is a unique disease in that cancer cells grow geometrically without limitation. That means 2 become 4, then 8, 16, 32, 64 and so on... we must act promptly before this process gets out of control. The first step for anyone who has been given a diagnosis of cancer is to follow whatever treatment program his or her doctor recommends. This usually means some combination of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. This can be a frightening reality for many, but these medical treatments for cancer are very important to your survival.

Until a cure for cancer is found, chemotherapy and radiation are the most powerful weapons against cancer. However, side effects from the use of these treatments are often debilitating. Chemotherapy and radiation can leave you sick and exhausted. Perhaps one of the most notable side effects is the effect that chemotherapy and radiation have on a person's immune system. The immune system is often weakened by chemotherapy and radiation. What, then, can we do to strengthen the immune system so that it can do its part to help kill cancer cells? What can one do when they have reached their bodily limit on the amount of chemo and radiation they can received but are still not cancer free? What can a person in remission from cancer do to make sure they stay in remission? What can the healthy person do to make sure their immune system is performing at its best? We believe that the answers to these questions lie in our three-part program of music therapy, nutrition, and exercise in the fight against cancer.
