It all depends how you read it. It says “fight to live” and also says “live to fight” Either way, cancer is a fight for life and we hope new research and medications give more people a better chance of living to fight. It has come to my attention that there are not so many choices of chemo caps for men. So make this unisex hat for someone you love or make one for a complete stranger and donate to a patient with a note of encouragement attached.

This hat can be knit without the border sentiment in a solid color, simple stripes or with the border in 2 colors of your choice.
