    In its fusion of essays and artwork, Art-Medicine Collaborative Practice helps readers understand the lived realities of individuals with head and neck cancer. Featuring compelling original art from Ingrid Bachmann, Sean Caulfield, Jude Griebel, Jill Ho-You, Heather Huston, and Bradley Necyk, this collaborative interdisciplinary exploration draws together the voices of patients, health care practitioners, and researchers with artists' empathic visualizations to offer a more holistic--more human--understanding of cancer treatment and its aftermath.
