I used to visualize treatment as a tunnel I was passing through. It was dark, but if I kept my head down and kept on walking, I knew I'd see the light of day eventually. There are no easy outs here - you've got to pass each signpost along the way, chemo, rads, surgery, etc. - you won't see the light till you've completed all of them.

I did it one day at a time. If I had to wonder how I'd accomplish the whole thing, it drove me crazy. I'd get up in the morning and tell myself that however lousy I felt that day, I was one day closer to being finished.

You will get to the finish line - one step at a time.

I did relaxation and visualization also and still listen to one of my tapes every night when I go to bed. I have been doing this for 14 out of my 15 yrs.
