This series of images is a very touching, emotionally stirring
documentary series shot by US photographer Tacitus Bond. It chronicles the
journey of diagnosis and treatment of Steven Smith , a sufferer from
Hodgkin's Disease.
There is no benign (non-cancerous) form of Hodgkin's disease. The good news
about Hodgkin's disease is that most people (92%) with this disease are
cured. The bad news is that because so many people are living for a long
time, we are learning about serious side effects that happen years after the
treatment is over. In fact, 20 years after treatment, more people who had
Hodgkin's disease die of side effects related to treatment than of recurrent
Hodgkin's disease. Steven has fallen into the 8% bracket where chances of a
cure are slim to none.
