Abstract
My patient was in his late 20s and dying of an advanced sarcoma. He came to our institution seeking a miracle-a cure for his incurable cancer. Despite second and third opinions, he never relinquished his hope that science would cure him. In this story, I explore how hope allowed my patient, and others like him, to reclaim their narratives and maintain their personhood in the face of serious illness.
