This book provides a contemporary and comprehensive examination of
cancer in everyday life, drawing on qualitative research with
people living with cancer, their family members and health
professionals. It explores the evolving and enduring affects of
cancer for individuals, families and communities, with attention to
the changing dynamics of survivorship, including social relations
around waiting, uncertainty, hope, wilfulness, obligation,
responsibility and healing. Challenging simplistic deployments of
survivorship and drawing on contemporary and classical social
theory, it critically examines survivorship through innovative
qualitative methodologies including interviews, focus groups,
participant produced photos and solicited diaries. In assembling
this panoramic view of cancer in the twenty-first century, it also
enlivens core debates in sociology, including questions around
individual agency, subjectivity, temporality, normativity,
resistance, affect and embodiment. A thoughtful account of cancer
embedded in the undulations of the everyday, narrated by its
subjects and those who informally and formally care for them,
