Your mind can be a healing tool. Guided imagery uses visualization to lower stress hormones and activate the body's own healing processes. Studies support guided imagery for reducing anxiety, easing pain, and managing chemo nausea. Learn how patients use it to prepare for surgery, stay calm inside an MRI, and mentally escape during treatment — a non-invasive complement to conventional cancer care. From JUST DIAGNOSED: A Survivor's Guide to Navigating Cancer by Jennifer Omholt — journalist and 24-year stage 3 breast cancer survivor. Foreword by Debu Tripathy, MD (MD Anderson Cancer Center).
