Several years ago I read a short story by that title (Carcinoma Angels) about
a guy who got cancer and cured himself by taking a weird concoction of
drugs.  I don't know who it's by or in what anthology it appears.  If anybody
out there knows who wrote this story, or where I can find a copy, please
send mail.  Thanks in advance.

I think that it was in Dangerous Visions, or was it Again, Dangerous Visions,
edited by Harlan Ellison.  I could be wrong, since I don't have all my books
with me at school.

	It's in "Dangerous Visions", edited by Harlan Ellison.

	It's a great tongue-in-cheek short about Harrison Wintergreen,
	who found that the world was his oyster when he looked at it sideways.

The story was written by Norman Spinrad.  He's also the author of 
THe Iron Dream, which says on the cover that it was written by
Adolph Hitler. (to be explained)  And he wrote at least one episode
of Star Trek.

Several years ago,  Norman Spinrad came to speak to a science fiction
class that I was taking. After the class, several of us went to the Union
to have a beer with him.  Someone asked him why there were motorcycle
riders in many of his stories (including Carcinoma Angles and the Iron Dream)
He said that he had spent a lot of time with some motorcycle gangs in 
California. He had some friends in the gangs, and they would sometimes
show up at his house and invite him somewhere. He didn't dare offend
them and not go, so he would sometimes disappear with them for
several days.

About THe Iron Dream: According to the cover, it was written by Adolph
Hitler. In the introduction, Spinrad says that Hitler 'dabbled
in radical politics' in Germany, got frustrated, and moved to
the U. S. in the early 30's, and began to write science fiction,
including THe Iron Dream.

Spinrad told us that he wrote the book by immersing (sp?) himself
in everything Hitler had written, and everything written about him.
(Including a 600 page book titled 'Hitler's Dinner conversations')
He finished the book just in time for Mardi Gras, and got Hitler
out of his system by going to New Orleans and partying for several
days.

I still have my copy of THe Iron Dream, which he autographed
'adolph Hitler'.

   Yes, the Star Trek episode he wrote was "The Doomsday Machine".

"Carcinoma Angels", by Norman Spinrad, was first published in
the original "Dangerous Visions" anthology edited by Harlan Ellison.
DV, c 1967, and Judith Merril's anthology "England Swings SF", c 1968,
define the "new wave" in sf, later known as "speculative fiction".

From Doug Alan:

It is indeed!  It's the last story in "Dangerous Visions" (*edited*
by Harlan Ellison, and one of the best SF anthologies ever, for those
who haven't read it...).  The story itself is by Norman Spinrad, and
is about a man, successful at all endeavours, who contracts cancer
and decides to cure it by force of will, through decidedly unorthodox
means.  The "Carcinoma Angels" are manifestations of his cancer cells
as motorcycle-gang members (I *said* his means were unorthodox!).

Read the story.  Hell, read the whole book!  And then read "Again,
Dangerous Visions", too!  (When will "The Last ..." be out?  I
heard it would be soon.)
