Visualization

   Since before I received my first Chemotherapy session for my Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma,  I have utilized visualization for my healing. 

    If you will recall, I heard a powerful and moving composition by the famous composer Rimsky-Kosakov while I was en-route to my initial appointment with my Gynecological Oncologist.  It is titled “Procession of the Nobles” and is the music that I have deigned to be my “Chemo Music”.   This piece is very powerful, yet, elegant and has beautiful flowing melodies throughout, but never gives up the power behind the composition.  It has been well suited for my purpose;  which is that of conquering this horrible aggressive cancer that I have.  

       I call my Chemo drugs “My Nobles” and I have always used the percussion of the piece to help me visualize my chemo drugs “pow, pow, powing” the cancer cells.    But I know that this cancer is sneaky… as many cancers are.  So what do I do about the cancer cells that are “hiding” from my chemo drugs? 

      That is where the beautiful flowing melodies come in to do their part.   I imagine that the cancer cells really like “My Chemo Song”.   And since they are curious little creatures, they  cannot resist peeking around the corners of my organs to see just where that beautiful music is coming from.  They creep out to take a look, knowing that they will be neutralized immediately.  But they don’t care…they have to find out where that  beautiful music is coming from… even if it means the end of them.   And it does!  

    Thank you Rimsky-Korksakav for your Procession of the Nobles.  Your Nobles are helping to save my life.   Thank you.
