Siente la vida

I am a breast cancer survivor, so I am always interested in seeing hollywoods take on the disease, and I used to work in Hollywood as well.

First of all, the way the doctor in the movie glossed over the fact that there would be psychological issues with breast cancer made me laugh, secondly I have had 16 rounds of chemo, and it was never a feel good coffee klatch time where we all bonded. Most survivors don't talk to their neighbors, the drugs knock you out and you are sleepy and groggy, and if I was to drive home after chemo well I probably would have been pulled over for a serious driving infraction. Her son giving her smores after chemo: Really? are you serious, they have something here called chemo teach, and I think her son should have had a little more tact when mentioning her wig. I had to turn it off at that point, sorry not really based in reality as far as this survivor is concerned By the way, the term suffering from the disease really ticks me off. Call us cancer survivors, warriors, whatever, but not suffering.
