Chasing Rainbows: Young Adults Living With Cancer
This
upbeat documentary film Chasing Rainbows - Young Adults Living
With Cancer, is a dynamic, intimate portrayal of six young
people who
are living life while fighting for it. With passion
and infectious
laughter, the six participants provide a unique and refreshing
perspective about what it is like to live with cancer when you are
young. See an 8-minute trailer for the film on YouTube.
Candidly
they discuss: Fear, Anger, Finances, Sex, Infertility, Family
Relationships, Death, Faith, and the Future. Their stories provide
invaluable information, inspiration and hope - not only for other
young
adults facing life-threatening illness, but also their families,
friends, caregivers and medical support teams.
I
could relate only too well to the ever-shifting phases of fear,
anger, hope and sadness...I felt as though I was at a support group
meeting, nodding along with the survivors in the film - people who
truly get it.
Karin
DuBois, 25 year old cancer survivor
