Artist Styles Hospital Gown Into Amazing Outfits During Chemo

An artist battling cancer has come up with an inventive way of getting through her radiation treatment – by modifying her hospital gowns to make them into fashionable garments. Allie Olson, 40, shared photos and videos of her Radiation Runway project as a way of staying positive and inspiring others going through similar treatment. The artist, from Brooklyn, New York, first discovered a lump on her breast while in quarantine in May 2020, but after initially being told it was not cancerous, that diagnosis changed in September, after the pain persisted and a surgeon removed a lump of tissue. Allie was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer that is treated as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). During the pandemic, Allie, living alone in a Brooklyn apartment, went through 16 cycles of chemotherapy, a lumpectomy, and 30 sessions of radiation.Allie modified her robe into a more fashionable design, and after a woman in the waiting room laughed and radiation therapists expressed their admiration, Radiation Runway was born – the name a humorous nod to Project Runway. Between November 2 and January 7, 2022, when Allie completed her treatment, she would modify her gowns, taking photos and videos of the journey.
