title: Artistic expressions of illness.
abstract: Forms of artistic expression, literary and visual art, are used by breast cancer patients and survivors to show feelings of fear, reflection, acceptance, and transcendence. This method of expression can free the individual from complications often caused by personal interaction. The Healing Legacies Arts Registry provides a living record of art and writing by women and men who have experienced breast cancer.
