Participants will undergo a standardized regimen of peri-operative guided imagery and music therapy guided by CDs (compact disc). The peri-operative regimen will include: listening to the CD while in the pre-operative holding area, listening to the CD during the procedure; listening to the CD after the procedure beginning on the evening of post-operative day (POD)#0 and continuing twice a day until POD#3.

Control group (WN) will listen to a CD with white noise. Participants' regimen will include: listening to the CD while in the pre-operative holding area, listening to the CD during the procedure; listening to the CD after the procedure beginning on the evening of post-operative day (POD)#0 and continuing twice a day until POD#3.

Control group (CP) will have no intervention at all and will follow our current peri-operative procedures.

This pilot study will be a prospective, randomized trial which will take place at the University of Minnesota Medical Center (UMMC). Eligible patients will be identified at the time of their first clinic visit. If selected to be involved in the study, the patients will be randomized to one of three different groups: a Guided Imagery and Music therapy group (GIMT) or one of two control groups.

The GIMT group will undergo a standardized regimen of peri-operative guided imagery and music therapy guided by CDs. As there are no studies which discuss whether the act of listening to any therapy will affect outcomes, we will also explore whether white noise can affect outcomes as well. Therefore, one control group (WN) will abide by the same regimen and will listen to a CD with white noise; the other control group (CP) will have no intervention at all and will follow our current peri-operative procedures.

Determined by using a Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS)- A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain is a horizontal line 100 mm in length with the left end labeled 'No pain' and the right end labeled 'Very severe pain'. The subject marks a point on the line that represents their perception of their current state. The VAS score is determined by measuring the distance from the left end of the line to the point on the line marked by the subject. The range of possible values for this pain score is 0 to 100 millimetres.

Using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy General Scale (FACT-G) for patients with cancer (consisting of a four-factor structure - "Physical well-being", "Social-family well-being", "Functional well-being" and "Emotional well-being"). Five response choices range from "not at all" to "very much".

The Profile of Mood States (POMS) original scale contains 65 self-report items using the 5-point Likert Scale. Participants can choose from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely). The test takes approximately 3 to 7 minutes for healthy participants, and longer for the physically ill.
