- Summary:
- "Main themes: Radical changes in appearance and life interrupts dying on schedule. This is the first meeting we recorded and the last in the Comprehensive Cancer Center clinic. The primary theme is readiness for the next step toward death and frustration at its delay. Nell's physical status is declining rapidly; it is hard for her to get in and out of a car and to walk. Her body is visibly deteriorating, plodding toward death. This is the first time she speaks in depth about the dramatic, frightening changes she sees in her body"-- Provided by publisher.
