The investigators are conducting a project to provide a new type of resource called "hand lettering" to patients receiving chemotherapy. This is a type of art therapy. The goal of this project is to understand if it is feasible to use art-therapy and to describe anxiety before and after completing hand-lettering.
This study is being done to understand if it is feasible to use a form of art-therapy called hand-lettering at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. We would also like to explore the anxiety a person has before and after using hand-lettering.
