The spectre of mortality is constricting and limiting; yet, within the milieu of finality, individuals are freed from many constraints, opening doors to new possibilities. In facing our own mortality, we recognize \u201cothers\u201d grappling, like ourselves, with insoluble questions, while trying to work out how to act. In the darkness, chaos and terror of diagnosis and treatment, communities are thereby formed of individuals who have nothing but their cancers in common, who choose to face their deaths and the impending nothingness together. Utilizing empirical data from an ethnographic study of cancer patients in a hospital, we reflect on Lingis\u2019 notion of the other community, seeking to respond to his questions: \u201cIs the death that isolates each one a common death? And can it be identified as nothingness?\u201d.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11673-026-10597-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,17]],"date-time":"2026-08-17T13:21:55Z","timestamp":1786972915000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Community of Those Who Have Nothing But Cancer in Common"],"prefix":"10.1007","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6878-9197","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matthew P.","family":"Grant","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer","family":"Philip","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul A.","family":"Komesaroff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"10597_CR1","unstructured":"Eliot, T.S. 1915.
