For this assignment I tapped into my life experience as a survivor of Stage 2B Breast Cancer. I saw the three books as the three stages one goes through when receiving a cancer diagnosis:  Book One for the newly diagnosed;  Book Two for those in active treatment; and Book Three for life after treatment. Artwork was created in Photoshop; text in Illustrator. I am currently writing my story of cancer survivorship and hope to one day fill these books with words of encouragement for others on a similar journey.
Book One for the newly diagnosed...
Book Two for those in active treatment...
Book Three for inspiration for those in recovery..
