These narratives chronicle the despair, hope, and love they experienced while living and dying with cancer, giving the power of the human spirit full voice. Lessons learned are presented as "gifts" at the conclusion of each of the five narratives. This book is for people living with the disease and their caregivers. Nurses and physicians, students in any health-related discipline, as well as persons engaged in qualitative research will also find this an invaluable resource. The importance of incorporating qualitative, research-based approaches in caring for the dying emerges from the narratives. Cancer Stories points toward a more holistic research/treatment agenda, one that bridges the medical and social sciences. 606 $aCancer$xPatients$vBiography 606 $aCancer$xPsychological aspects 606 $aSuffering 615 0$aCancer$xPatients 615 0$aCancer$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aSuffering. 676 $a362.1/96994 700 $aGregory$b David Michael$f1958-$01512916 701 $aRussell$b Cynthia K$g(Cynthia Kay),$f1958-$01512917 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782068503321 996 $aCancer stories$93747118 997 $aUNINA
