    Let me be the first of the 139 people who are going to answer this
    one.  "The Carcinoma Angels" is a story by Norman Spinrad from his
    collection LAST HURRAH OF THE GOLDEN HORDE.  It contains images of
    cancer cells riding through the characters body like motercycle
    riders.

Gee, can I be the first of the next 139 people to answer this one?
"Carcinoma Angels" originally appeared in Harlan Ellison's "Dangerous
Visions" anthology.  It's a very funny story about a fabulously wealthy
guy (named Harrison Wintergreen, I think) who sets out to beat death (in
the form of cancer).  Recommended.
