“Art therapy brings familiar materials and the universal language of visual expression to the foreign land of medicine.  Art therapy in the medical setting offers the potential for humanizing the health care experience and empowering patients to engage their intuitive, creative wisdom in the work of getting well.”  Medical Art Therapy for Children by  C. Malchiodi

If you have any written works or poems about your battles with cancer, we would love to read them and share them with our community.

Elizabeth’s Canvas

“Cancer’ they said, my diagnosis of dread
not much more need be said.
wrong you must be, it cannot be so,
look at my body my soul (spirit) will not let go.

A mistake you have made an error so done,
how could it be me, I’m not the one.
I’ll find another one who will say,
‘don’t worry love, ’tis not you this day’.

Search though I did to lands far away,
the sentence the same, no other way.
treat what you can, let the course run true,
I’ll fight while I can, I’m not through.

Wondering why, alone, much despair
is anyone listening, does anyone care?
painful days lead into night,
my curse, my cross, my terrible plight.

A cause a movement a commitment so strong,
empower the mind, it cannot be wrong.
the battle declared, the opponent thus given,
from your body within the scourge be driven.

A canvas you say, strange though it seems,
give it a try, don’t question the means.
a bridge across time a new normal sought.
the “canvas” gives power through thought.

Seek and find to the net go,
art of yours to others show.
create with a strength newly found,
it is for you to bridge a new high ground.

Elizabeth, a canvas, a pallet, by her name begin,
courage and power comes from within.
the path is clear, continue the way,
survivors all, your strength made the day.”
-j.g.p March 2011

“I have no idea what Herceptin looks like under the microscope, but I do know that it helped save my life. This painting was inspired by my desire to give Herceptin a physical identity.” – Elizabeth
