Welcome to "Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll," a multi-part series where we talk with experts about three topics that often do not get discussed during treatment.
In this final installment of the series, we talk to surgeon, musician, and author Dr. Nimesh Nagarsheth about the role music can play in a patient's journey. Dr. Nagarsheth is the author of "Music and Cancer: A Prescription for Healing," and since 2008 has performed in the band N.E.D. (no evidence of disease) as part of an ongoing campaign to raise awareness of oncological cancers. He's also the director of the Dizzy Gillespie Memorial Fund at Englewood Hospital and Medical Center in New Jersey.
Dr. Nagarsheth shares his perspective on how music may act as a foundation to help patients make their way through treatment and their overall cancer experience, whether or not they are already musicians or music-lovers.
