This book offers a cutting-edge and comprehensive exploration of cancer's impact on everyday life, drawing on qualitative research with individuals living with cancer, their family members, and healthcare professionals. It delves into the evolving and enduring effects of cancer on individuals, families, and communities, with a particular focus on the shifting dynamics of survivorship, encompassing social relationships surrounding waiting, uncertainty, hope, determination, obligation, responsibility, and healing. By challenging simplistic notions of survivorship and employing innovative qualitative methodologies such as interviews, focus groups, participant-produced photos, and solicited diaries, the book critically examines survivorship from a sociological perspective. In doing so, it sheds light on core debates in sociology, including issues of individual agency, subjectivity, temporality, normativity, resistance, affect, and embodiment. Survivorship: A Sociology of Cancer in Everyday Life presents a thoughtful account of cancer intertwined with the rhythms of everyday life, narrated by its subjects and those who provide informal and formal care for them. It outlines new avenues for sociologists, healthcare and medical researchers, and cancer care practitioners to contemplate survivorship, offering valuable insights into the lived experiences of individuals facing cancer and the broader societal implications of this disease.
