[Cancer and Society] Life, love, and loss: a tale of terminal cancer

[Cancer and Society] Life, love, and loss: a tale of terminal cancer
The Lancet Oncology

Mario has terminal cancer. With not much longer left to live, he sets out on a final delivery journey in his truck with his 10-year-old son, Lito, to give him an experience to remember him by. Meanwhile, his wife, Elena, remains at home, anxiously waiting for the pair to return and struggling to deal with her own grief and inner turmoil. Talking to Ourselves, the short novel by Spanish-Argentinian author Andres Neuman, is the story of one family's experience of a life cut short by cancer.
