Description du livre
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.
