How Cancer Survivors Used Music As Therapy
Enjoying artistic outlets such as music is a common theme among those going through cancer treatment. This was certainly the case for two-time cancer survivor Joel Naftelberg, whose love of music helped him cope with battling both pancreatic and liver cancer and learn to appreciate the precious moments in life.
“I have found music and rock and roll to be transformational,” says Joel. “[It] doesn’t necessarily solve anything, but it does let us dance on our problems for at least an hour or two. Nothing better on a Friday afternoon than to hang with your friends and listen to beautiful music.”
It’s not surprising Naftelberg used music as a way to dance away his problems, as he says he’s surrounded by friends who are remarkable musicians. So, despite going through a difficult challenge such as two separate cancer diagnoses, Joel handles it one day at a time and, of course, by making time to feed his love of music.
