A New Jersey teenager says making music helps bring him to a better place as he fights cancer.

WAYNE , N.J. - A senior lacrosse player at DePaul Catholic High School in Wayne says he loves making hits both on the field, and in the music studio. He says both activities are helping him in a much bigger battle - against cancer. For Marko Dobre, music is therapyMarko Dobre, 18, is a study in contrasts. This year, his battle isn't against lacrosse opponents. In a room full of monitors, battling a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, he may be receiving his best medicine.

'Monday through Friday, chemo every single day. And then that week my numbers are the lowest, so I can't go out anywhere. I just sit, rest, and then my numbers start recovering and then I'm better again,' Dobre said. Well enough to overcome the fatigue and squeeze in a recording session, creating a melody that cancer can't silence. 'The more I work, I feel like my mind gets off of what I'm going through,' Dobre said.
