I am receiving lung cancer care at Mayo for a lung nodule and follow-up at the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah, near my home.

Huntsman offers many free services to patients. I am seeing a Counselor and a Music Therapist. In two weeks, I will attend a Women’s Zoom Survivorship call.

These additional services have helped me. The Music Therapist asked me to create a meaningful chant and incorporate it into a simple song I could sing. My chant is, “Let this day be full of joy, gratitude, peace, and love. “ I sing this throughout the day, and any negative or stressful thoughts leave my mind, and I feel more joyful. It is incredible how this simple action can transform my mood.
