Sometimes life is shit. Like really just shit.

You get diagnosed with cancer when you are young and beautiful and carefree.

Suddenly, everything is different.

You should check out the story of 21 year old Tessa Calder. 

Tessa is a medical student who brilliantly turned to photographic fun to bring some cheer to others during her chemotherapy.

Over the past six months Tessa has compiled a series of posed photos featuring her newest companion — an IV pole.

What a brilliant idea to help bring a smile to others, as well as herself.

We wish Tessa all the very best for her recovery.
