To find creativity during dark moments is a gift. The creative process can be a great way to let go, heal, and move on! You have depicted very well what one might feel while undergoing radiation therapy through your own experience. Many say it feels like it takes the life out of you and you are depleted and drained. Glad you survived and are sharing your wonderful gifts with us!

Wow! This is amazing, strange and wonderful. What a great thing to wear when having treatments.
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thank you so much !...this piece of plastic was indeed a lifesaver in 2013. I underwent another round of treatments in 2018 for my other tonsil, but they did not let me keep the second mask. Now I am working on my second Cancer Survivor tee shirt, only 3 years to go ! I am grateful that the the artwork of you and my other favorite FAA artists helps keep me going ,!....keep creating !!

Your mind is a delightfully dark place Douglas. Excellent way to recycle and re imagine what could have only been a difficult time for you. Art heals :)

Thank you !....I wasn't sure if this rather bizarre Recycle Art was enough Out of the Ordinary to qualify.....
