It’s common for cancer patients to receive a tattoo during external beam radiation therapy. The dotted mark helps radiation technicians more precisely aim treatments. It’s true: these markers are part of potentially life-saving measures. But for some survivors, it can also be a painful reminder of the battle with their illness.
We want to help people* who are still affected by their radiation markers turn them into a symbol of hope and optimism.
*Survivors who are a year or more into remission and have clearance from their doctor.
