One of the greatest problems facing doctors in their efforts to fight cancer is that the word itself is synonymous with death and suffering. The depressing side of this disease gets plenty of publicity. We all know someone who has died of cancer.

In tonight's film four of the islanders, the resident nurse, and the missionary's daughter describe life on the island in those last years and the events which led up to the evacuation.
