How come people don’t know the right thing to do or say when someone has Cancer? Isadora is an indelicate, sarcastic survivor with a hidden vulnerability whose breast cancer has returned and who doesn't hesitate to educate people on how to act around her. During her treatment, she meets Tom, an affable, attractive man who regularly manages to disappoint, anger and intrigue her.
Will their conflicts and secrets of Tom’s past prevent a blossoming relationship? How to adapt to and deal with cancer and love later in life are demonstrated and rewarded. Written with the help of dozens of breast cancer survivors, this comedy-drama is an emotional ride that’s full of laughter and tears, while reminding us of what’s important in life.
