Cancer

Read as part of the collection "This is How You Die", which is a follow on from the collection "Machine of Death", both edited by Ryan North.

In each collection, Ryan North's story was one of my favorites. This one touched me not just because it was well written, but also because it connects directly to the story of Henrietta Lacks. I recommend the book by Rebecca Skloot to learn more.

This story first appeared in Lightspeed magazine, and can be read online at https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/cancer/

It is a short read - go for it!
