A Conversation in Mortal Time: Navigating the Challenges of Cancer

Nell M.’s story began with a disappointment – her metastatic breast cancer was not progressing as predicted. She had hoped breast cancer would lead to death, preventing her from witnessing her spouse’s mental deterioration from Alzheimer’s disease.

Exploring Illness Narratives

The Nell Dialogues: Conversation in Mortal Time consists of twelve of Nell’s illness narratives that explore the challenges of managing the physical and emotional demands of cancer, relationship issues with family and health care professionals, and disturbing, anxiety provoking thoughts as well as the mourning that accompanies the end of life.
