The embodiment of cancer is always shaped by multiple social identities and relations, including racial and developmental identities and relations. Here I explore how a 12-year-old, Black cancer patient, who I call Rashad, and his parents negotiated the entangled harms of cancer and anti-Black stereotypes in their everyday lives, inside and outside of healthcare settings. At the same time, I show that the embodiment of Blackness served as an affirmative and protective resource, as the family drew on cultures of hip-hop, Black kinship, and anti-racist activism in their attempts to ameliorate and heal the pain of life with cancer
