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.
