Document Language : English 
Abstract : Most of women with breast cancer are treated with one or more of the standard therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy or surgery. Women receiving these therapies often suffer from side effects such as nausea, vomiting, severe pain, stress and anxiety. This article discusses the effect of virtual reality (VR) as one of the guided imagery techniques which distracts patients from stress and discomfort often associated with chemotherapy. The paper shows how side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stress and severe pain are alleviated.
