Abstract
The article presents personal narratives from nurses about the care of oncology patients and efforts to show compassion and support. They discuss patients who refused to allow cancer to control their lives, the use of "compassion carts" which offer data on grief support services as well as food for families of the terminally ill. They also discuss the term "losing his battle with cancer."
