“The tree itself, with its trunk and branches, represents the cancer center and the oncology team. The branches support and provide protection to the leaves, which are the patients and survivors. The individual leaves are connected to each other and share the support of the branches and the trunk. Knowing that they are loved and not alone, the leaves have the strength to do the things they did not know they were capable of doing.”

Artwork created by patients with cancer and survivors at Intermountain Southwest Cancer Center of Cedar City (UT)

Historical medical journal article by Thomas Ashworth describing circulating tumor cells in 1869

“A case of Cancer in which cells similar to the Tumours were seen in the blood after death. (...) The fact of cells identical with those of the cancer itself beeing seen in the blood may trend to throw light upon the mode of origin of multiple tumours existing in the same person”

Susan Olivera painted Sobrevivi as she was starting to feel better after years of sickness.

The painting depicts a nude woman with scars on both breasts standing, as Olivera describes it, in a victory pose under a backwards moon. The colored fragments on the woman’s right side represent the chemotherapy sessions and surgeries that Olivera underwent.

Ms. Lombardo’s wary expression after she has lit the fuse to blow cancer to smithereens.

After diagnosis, Ms. Lombardo began a blog that she called “grancer,” a neologism that rhymes with cancer but contains all the letters of her hopeful first name. Grace Lombardo was the inspiration for this time-bomb art work.

“Annie Dennison had enjoyed both photography and creating mixed-media art before she was diagnosed with #breastcancer, but the diagnosis spurred her to pursue art more intensely, she says. #Chemotherapy left her too sick to go out and take pictures, so she looked for something that she could photograph at home. Then she got an idea: to take #Barbie dolls, pull out their hair to simulate chemotherapy’s well-known #sideeffect , and then dress, pose and photograph them.”
