I found it to be very helpful in calming my fears prior to the surgery and giving me assurances that I could beat the cancer. I have sung its praises and recommended it to others. But recently I had an interesting "revelation." After my surgery and radiation I had what I would describe as PTSD symptoms which have continued through the two years. They were so much larger and unmanageable from when I had my first cancer surgery five years previous to this surgery I was taken aback. I couldn't understand my strong reactions but chalked up my experiences to the fact it was the second "big surprise" in my life. But when I was recently meditating during breast cancer awareness month which I hate, I felt like what had happened was that my doctor whom I dearly love and respect highly was so concerned about another one of his patients during my surgery that I picked up on his fear and so felt "doomed." This explanation helps me to understand many of my symptoms. Now that I can separate the two; my unconscious fears and my doctor's verbally positive prognosis I do not have these same uncontrollable symptoms. I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience or if they are careful to tell their doctor that even under anesthesia patients can pick up on the doctor's words or energy. I suspect that listening to the c.d. during surgery made me even more vulnerable.

I, too, was diagnosed with breast cancer in March of this year, have had a mastectomy, gone thru chemo and then a friend told me about these wonderful CDs. I got the Cancer one, as well as the Immune and the Radiation one, just before beginning my radiation treatments. I listen to them when I go to bed at night. Although I have had a positive attitude thru this, it seems nighttime is when my mind likes to kick into high gear with the negative "what ifs!" The affirmations are wonderful, and I really needed them! These CDs will see me thru these treatments and beyond. I plan on continuing to listen to them even when I am done... Thank you, Belleruth!
