    The document summarizes reactions from people who had portraits done as part of the Scar Stories project, which captures the physical effects of cancer. One subject said seeing their portrait for the first time made them stop breathing, as it captured not just their physical scars but also their spiritual story of surviving cancer. Others mentioned cancer strengthening their relationships and how it took years to feel able to reveal their cancer scars.

    "When I saw my portrait for the first time I think I stopped breathing for a second or two.

     
    Despite Scar Stories portraits being about capturing the physical story of Cancer, I felt as though
    mine captured my spiritual story."
