The patient had lived for 30 years in homeless shelters, had problems with alcohol abuse, and was notoriously noncompliant with medical caregivers. He could not speak due to his disease, was illiterate with limited intellectual capacity, and had neither a job nor a family. Despite huge and apparently insurmountable problems for the patient, the oncology team was able to carve out a package of care, successfully communicate, and mobilize a support network to allow successful completion of chemoradiation therapy. The team developed a strong commitment to his care and an affectionate bond, which very positively affected all of those involved. We discuss issues of access to cancer care, and the special problems presented by homeless patients.</jats:p> </jats:sec> The Kenneth B.
