hi .....

first, you will fond my language not good, but I'll try to write something clear and I hope to understand me.

i want to ask you about your estimate of using imagery therapy in treating breast cancer, is it usefel??

of using imagery therapy as an adjuvant therapy ,for women with early breast cancer whose undergo chemotherapy, to control the stress feeling that may cause poorer respond to chemotherapy.

Is there any relation between stress and immune system?? if there any, can we use imagery therapy to establsh this relation, e.g. get over stress feeling and so make an immune system to be stringth

i hop to write in this topic

thank you Wink

Hello Seamaid, How much time do you have and how much are you planning to write? You have presumably been searching the internet for information on stress, immune systems and illness - it's a vast topic.

As to imaging, it is used in Britain at the Bristol Cancer Centre as part of their adjuvant treatments. You might contact them and ask for information. here's their link : http://www.bristolcancerhelp.org/

Hello Seamaid, I've been doing some thinking, and realised that you may have problems searching for "imaging".

I think what you are really looking for is "visualization" - this link has a report on a research project about this very topic: http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/help/default.asp?page=5406

This is another reference which is interesting:

I would also post in Complementary and Alternative Therapies in this forum, and also go to BreastCancerCare.org.uk and Breastcancer.org, and post on their complementary therapy forums.

Hope this all gives you some leads.
