Making music videos helps young cancer patients connect

By Genevra Pittman NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Working with a therapist to create music videos may help young cancer patients feel better about themselves and their situation, a new study suggests. Teenagers and young adults who made the videos reported feeling more supported by family and friends and coped with their cancer in more positive ways. They studied 113 young people, ages 11 to 24, who were being treated for cancer with intravenous infusions of stem cells. All of the patients in the study met with a music therapist six times over about three weeks while they were in the hospital.
