It hurts me to even look at this photo. In it, we had hoped to convey the pain and strength that Cancer causes. The boxing aspect represents the fight and determination required to battle cancer. The tears are to represent the toll doing so takes on our mental health.
Outside of the obvious physical health problems, cancer is utterly soul destroying. The battle itself is horrendous. At its worst, it can rob sufferers of their lives in the cruellest way possible. It puts the people that love them under enormous pressure as they try to find a strength they didn't know they had to support their loved ones the best way they know how, whilst also feeling completely helpless to do anything of real value to help them.
This shoot was done last year and I dyed the ends of my hair red for the sole purpose of showing anger for this concept in a visual sense. I was and continue to be so incredibly angry - for all of the people that are put in this position through no fault of their own. I am sorry for your pain. So incredibly sorry.
One day at a time.

Cancer. Will always be lurking in the background. Won't it? Only the lucky ones will whip it in the butt once in their lives. Some will have to go to war again. Because Cancer will not give up, thinks you are weak. This little flower may look fragile, been through brutal storms and damaging winds, looks can be deceiving. Her stem is strong! Her petals may weaken and fly off when the windy storm hits. But her stem is STRONG! You will not, you can not break her. She beat you down once, now she's going to destroy you because you messed with the wrong flower.
Yes. I am that flower......

I'm working w/ the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) over the next year to help document and share their amazing stories of cutting-edge cancer research and treatment. I'm going to be photographing events, building a photo archives, creating patient and; doctor stories and other creative storytelling projects that arise. This weekend I attended the Swim Across America and The Pink Boat Regatta. I'll be back down next month to photograph the #PurpleStride marathon and a bunch of other cool community initiatives.
(If you'd like to use any of these photos for ANYTHING pls contact Kris Krüg first kk@kriskrug.com 778. 898. 3076)
Seattle Cancer Care Alliance brings together the leading research teams and cancer specialists of Fred Hutch, Seattle Children's, and UW Medicine. #SeattleCCA
Swim Across America fills a void by providing vital seed funding to world-renowned hospitals that are investigating and conducting new clinical trials that lead to treatments and cures to defeat cancer. We host benefit swims as an opportunity to raise much needed money for our hospital partners conducting lifesaving research and clinical trials.
The sands shifted as the spring breeze swirled into existence, chasing the last of the clinging frosts from the dunes. Grain tumbled over grain; a slip swelling into a landslide, uncovering what had remained buried for decades. The glimmer of crystal, a shining drop of blue amidst the sand...

GOOD NEWS! P.E.T. scan was CLEAR. No cancer found in my organs. I am so relieved. Thanks for all prayers and positive thoughts!
Got the Port inserted in my chest yesterday. That makes easy access for chemo drugs. HAPPY to have it, yet I do feel as if someone whacked me with a 2x4, front and back. LOVE my pain meds!
One more thing...I AM going to survive this cancer. Period. But I am also sensitive to those of you who have lost loved ones to any kind of cancer. I'm going to shout about my triumphs because that is my way. But I know that might be painful for some people. I am not sure how to balance that except to say that my heart goes out to all of those who lost the battle, and to their friends and family.
Today is wig day.

This picture was done partly as a reminder, as listed in the text, and partly in memory of my (RL) aunt Penny, who passed away, recently, from breast cancer... less than a day later, I lost another aunt, Jackie, to lung cancer.
Cancer is SUCH an ugly word. We all need to do what we can to try to reduce exposure to known carcinogens, and stop polluting the planet that we're supposed to have to sustain us.
We have to push harder to stop smoking - that includes me too. I'm so guilty of it, but I'm trying, and that counts, in my book.
We need to push for more frequent preventative healthcare checkups- and for those of us in the US and other countries less fortunate- we need to push for the healthcare to cover those preventative visits. So many deaths could have been avoided with earlier screenings. Be aware, cancer comes in many forms, even breast cancer- it can strike men just as hard as it can women- and it can kill you before you know what's going on. Going to the doctor is important.
Preventative maintenance on your vehicle is automatic for most... Preventative maintenance on the body should be, too.
Love one another, and savor every moment with those you have. You never know when someone you love will be taken by the ugly, often silent kliller, cancer.

The Green Mile, Stephen King has taught us, is the last hallway the condemned must walk, from Death Row to the electric chair. For some, it is a place of despair, of anger, of desperate bargaining, and of failing hope. For some it is an opportunity for quiet reflection. For a very few, it is the anteroom of reprieve.
This is the Yellow Mile. It connects the Cancer Center, where doctors and patients huddle and ponder, with the Infusion Room, where toxic fluids are administered to the hopeful and the hopeless alike, while they wait for their pardons to come through.
The far end is dark with doubt, and green with hope. Though they may be surrounded by family and friends, down this hallway patients walk alone.
My mother-in-law, Preacher Lo Wing Chee, was one of the most remarkable people I've ever met. She died today at 91. Two weeks ago, in the late stages of liver cancer, she was still living life to the full. Here she is with Bobo, enjoying a meal at a nearby restaurant. These last few months have been difficult for everyone but she handled it with dignity.
Cancer is cancer, whether its breast or childhood cancers.......all cancers break hearts.
Each year in the U.S. there are approximately 13,400 children between the ages of birth and 19 years of age who are diagnosed with cancer. About one in 300 boys and one in 333 girls will develop cancer before their 20th birthday. In 1998, cancer became the #1 cause of disease related death in children. 250,000 children in the world get cancer every year. Each year, more than 160,000 children die of cancer, worldwide!
While the incidence of childhood cancer has changed only slightly since 1970 (an increase from 11.4 per 100,000 population in 1974 to 14.8 per 100,000 in 2004), the overall survival rate for childhood cancer has increased drastically during that time period. Today, the overall 5 year survival rate for childhood cancer is close to 80%.
In underdeveloped countries, the survival rate is 20%.
Because treatment cure rates have increased, the population of childhood cancer survivors has also increased. Currently there are estimated to be 270,000 survivors of childhood cancer in the U.S. This equates to one in 640 young adults between the ages of 20 to 39 being a survivor of a childhood malignancy.
Survival however is with a "cost." Two-thirds of those who do survive face at least one chronic health condition. One quarter of survivors face a late-effect from treatment that is classified as severe or life-threatening. Late-effects of treatment can include heart damage, second cancers, lung damage, infertility, cognitive impairment, growth deficits, hearing loss, and more. It is becoming increasingly apparent that childhood cancer "is for life." Late effects from either the disease process or aggressive treatment regimens are given at a time of life when children have growing bodies and developing brains. As such, patterns of late-effects include disabilities, chronic health conditions, and even subsequent battles with additional cancer. It is imperative that all survivors of childhood cancer receive on-going monitoring and continued physical and psychosocial care throughout their adult lives.
International Childhood Cancer Awareness Day (ICCD) has been observed each February 15th since 2002. Over 65 countries worldwide now participate in the event.
