Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy

Very inspiring story of a young girl with everything; great job, husband, success, beauty...and suddenly getting diagnosed with the big C. She's terrified she will lose her fabulous life, but more importantly her life, period. She has a very touchy feely moment with a cab driver who shares his cancer experience and wisdom. She is fortunate to have a loving husband and a very good support system from friends to family to her mentor at work who is also a survivor.

Throughout the movie she faces every step from the mastectomy to chemo to hair loss to nausea to fear of death. She forges ahead determined to fight.

Sarah Chalke was great as the courageous Geryln. Watching Gerylyn you can't help but compare her to yourself, and how we get bogged down in our petty problems for years and years on end. She's truly an inspiration.
