Survivorship: A Sociology of Cancer in Everyday Life, 1st Edition, examines the lived experience of cancer across domestic and healthcare environments. Published by Routledge in the Routledge Studies in the Sociology of Health and Illness series, the volume investigates how illness alters daily routines for individuals, families, and communities.
The text explores shifting interpersonal relations shaped by waiting, uncertainty, hope, obligation, and healing. It challenges simplistic deployments of survivorship by examining the enduring physical and emotional effects experienced throughout diagnosis and treatment.
Grounded in qualitative field research with patients, family members, and health professionals, the book provides sociological frameworks intended for social researchers, medical investigators, and cancer care practitioners.
