PASS

Summary

Why it passes

Do they have their own story?

Anthology gives multiple patient perspectives and situations.

Are they allowed to live?

Survival, recurrence and loss coexist rather than a single romanticized death.

Does the medical reality hold up?

Breast cancer pathways are more explicit than terminal shorthand.
