in Head and Neck Cancer #1
I think everyone who has to do treatment should have one, heck even if u don't have to do treatment. What's that song that gets u threw the Monday radiation session? I have a couple,my main one is The killers-sweet talk. The nurses who gave me radiation always played me the same cd and when I was about 5 minutes away from the end of treatment the pretender by the foo fighters would play, so that's number 2.

    Take it to the Limit
    by the Eagles has become my fight song. I didn't have one during treatment as I pretty much just relied on terror for that. I use it now to accomplish unpleasant goals associated with post treatment and beyond!

    dance music
    I would play 10 minutes of loud meaningless dance club type music before I would go in for treatment...it would still be playing around in my head throughout treatment. my mom always asked me if I wanted something more sedate or calming, I told her, no...I want something that gets my blood pumping and reminds me that I am alive and that I want to dance with my children again very soon. it worked for me! it also kept me feeling upbeat, even when I mentally wasn't.
    the one time I didn't listen to it, I ended up bawling in the bathroom after treatment...that only happened once.

    I can't say I had just one
    I can't say I had just one song. I brought in three CDs and they rotated them for me every day. I still have those play lists saved on my iPod because they are some of my favorite feel good tunes:

    Waiting For You- Seal
    Alive & Kicking- Simple Minds
    Brand New Day-Sting
    Break It Down Again- Tears For Fears
    Interstate Love Song- STP
    Learn To Fly- Foo Fighters
    Viva La Vida- Cold Play
    Champagne Supernova- Oasis

    #2 Dance CD

    SOS- Rihanna
    All Things Just Keep Getting Better- Wildelife
    Groovy Train
    Low- Flo Rida
    Steal My Sunshine- Len
    Wind It Up- Gwenn Stefani
    Disturbia- Rihanna
    Shake Your Tailfeather
    Clumsy- Fergie
    Don't Stop The Music- Rihanna

    #3

    Sowing The Seeds Of Love- Tears For Fears
    Life in a Northern Town
    Angel- Adam Ant
    Back On My Feet Again- The Babys
    Wonderful- Adam Ant
    Breakout- Swing Out Sister
    Chuck E's In love- Ricki Lee Jones
    Crash Into Me- Dave Matthews
    Fall To Pieces- Velvet Revolver

    The first couple of days I went, I tried classical music. It made it drag too much!!!! I like classical, but it wasn't cutting it. When they played the dance tunes, it was hard to stay still. Good tunes made the time go by easier. One day, they forgot to put my disk in, and they had the soundtrack to Mamma Mia in. Good grief!! I would rather stick a red hot poker in my own eye. No offense to anyone who likes it, it wasn't for me. I think that session dragged the most. Lol.

    The girls liked my CDs so on my last day, I let them keep them.

    Fearless
    Hi Jermain,
    I listened to so much in the rad room but would have to say Fearless by Pink Floyd. The song is inspirational but also something about Pink Floyd's music cancels out the ringing in my ears from the Cisplatin.
    I'm curious about your cancer Jermain. On your "about me" page it says you had cervical cancer yet your name seems like a man's name. Also curious about the support you might need from a head and neck cancer board for cervical cancer. Of course we're here to support any brother or sister with any cancer but we're probably most useful to an H&N survivor. How can we best support you? Thanks for the interesting topics.

    Warrior
    Metal head here :) Disturbed's latest album gets me going, from Asylum to Ishfwilf. The best is Warrior (at least to me) Chorus goes

    I'm one with the warrior inside
    My dominance can't be denied
    Your entire world will turn
    Into a battlefield tonight

    As I look upon you
    Through the warrior's eyes
    Now I can see the fear
    That will ensure my victory this time

    Another good one from them is A Welcome Burden. Just my two cents.

    Hi jermain
    I love the song by Joni Eareckson Tada “Spirit Wings” because I may be trap here in this body now, but I look for the day that my God will give me a new body that will never have cancer or be sick again.

    Thanks

    War of My life!
    WAR OF MY LIFE!!!

    Come out Angels
    Come out Ghosts
    Come out Darkness
    Bring everyone you know

    I'm not running
    I'm not scared
    I am waiting and well prepared

    I'm in the war of my life
    At the door of my life
    Out of Time and there's nowhere to run

    I've got a hammer
    And a heart of glass
    I got to know right now
    Which walls to smash

    I got a pocket
    Got no pills
    If fear hasn't killed me yet
    Then nothing will

    All the suffering
    And all the pain
    Never left her name

    I'm in the war of my life
    At the door of my life
    Out of time and there's nowhere to run

    I'm in the war of my life
    At the core of my life
    Got no choice but to fight 'til it's done

    No more suffering
    No more pain
    Never again

    I'm in the war of my life
    At the door of my life
    Out of time and there's nowhere to run

    I'm in the war of my life
    I'm at the core of my life
    Got no choice but to fight 'til it's done
    So Fight on, fight on everyone, fight on
    Got no choice but to fight 'til it's done

    I'm in the war of my life
    I'm at the core of my life
    I've got no choice but to fight 'til it's done. by (John Mayer)
