handprints of hope

One of the participants said, “I went for my infusion today and while there went by and placed my handprint on the canvas. Each handprint represents a cancer victim, but also represents the hope that person has of beating the cancer that they have, or that they have already beaten. When you are the one placing your handprint, you look at the others that are already on the canvas and think of the trials each person endured. It makes you humble that you are there at that moment in time, and thankful for the others that were there before you, and for those that will come after you. No one wishes to have cancer in their lives, but for those of us that do, we are appreciative for Anderson Regional Cancer Center and their caring staff. Because of them, we have the hope to one day be cancer free.”
