I love and enjoy every day after brutal radiation burns, hysterectomy, vaginectomy and ostomy. Art helps me relax and forget.

My art has always been my therapy, long before my breast cancer showed up. Getting back to work after surgery and chemo has really helped keep me focused on the present and what the future holds.

Photography is my hobby and I used it to document my chemo journey. I made a collection of medical records, insurance records, hats, wig, greeting cards, and all of the other paraphernalia that one needs. In the background, I added an partly transparent image of my chemo drip. The title is my defiance that I am still living.

Love
