A visual diary of cancer treatment, Rad Art is one woman's fully realized story of how she used the process of painting to help her cope with her disease and recovery. Filled with beautiful, evocative artwork, the book presents the emotional course of a cancer patient through paintings she created each day after undergoing radiation therapy. The 33 paintings are arranged chronologically—from the first to the last day of her treatment—and include accompanying text explaining her mood and feelings at the time. While respecting each person's unique experience, artist and cancer survivor Sally Loughridge has created a resource to encourage expression, sharing, and connection among cancer patients and their loved ones.

      Clinical psychologist and now full-time artist Loughridge presents her "emotional journey" during the 33 daily radiation treatments that followed her breast cancer surgery. These paintings are "not intended to be art per se; rather, the process of creating them was the critical element in my coping strategy," she writes. With radiation treatment no less daunting than chemotherapy in the cancer journey, it is, still, less discussed. A valuable asset to patient health collections.
