Cancer survivor tattoo

I spent the year 2015 fighting cancer. I’d been in remission since and had to get bloodwork and CT scans every year.

 

Two years ago, my oncologist told me I was cancer-free and didn’t need to come in for scans anymore.

 

To celebrate, I put the chemical diagrams of my chemo drugs together and had them tattooed on the inside of my bicep—the same place where my PICC line was.
