I've finished Cancer Ward. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The author gave us an very detailed look inside a cancer ward in a hospital in 1930s Soviet Russia. Nothing is easy for any of the men in the ward. Only one is from privilege; the others are soldiers, aspiring college students, a scientist. All have cancer in varying degrees, in varying parts of the body. The primitive treatments given them seem archaic today.
