Warning: Contains content that may distress some viewers. Living with Cancer identifies the recent technological and scientific advances that have enabled ever-greater numbers of cancer patients to "beat" the disease. Covers the principal forms of cancer treatment - surgery, chemotherapy and radiation - and discusses how those treatments are paired with newer treatments such as, gene therapy, and angiogenesis-inhibiting drugs. Hearing from cancer victims themselves, assesses the psychological, social, and spiritual impact of cancer on the individual; the importance of family and support groups in helping cancer patients focus positively on recovery; and the impact that a battle with cancer often has on the individual's values and life priorities.
