Inscription. "This sculpture, "Cancer… There's Hope" is the last work of the world renowned sculptor, Victor Salmones. He claimed it to be his finest, a labor of love.

Notice the fear, determination and hope on their faces in contrast to the joy of the front three, signifying successful treatment."
