UC Magazine has a touching, personal account of Music Therapist Deforia Lane's experience in helping others, and in the effect that Music Therapy had on her during her experience with cancer.
On Music Therapy's effect on others Deforia says: "People will sometimes listen to a song much more easily than they will listen to someone talk. I composed a song and people would listen to that and hear far more than I could say."
On the effect on herself: "Music was a constant reminder that I was more than the disease," she explains, "I was also a musician, a singer, a pianist, a teacher, a mentor. It gave me life beyond breast cancer. My hope was that my doctors saw more than stage 2, type 2 carcinoma."
