Interesting subject but unrealistically dealt with. I know everyone deals with death and dying in different ways but this is just trivialized. I have cancer and find this ridiculous. Granted no one would watch a show that realistically dealt with the subject it would be just too depressing. There certainly can be humorous moments and I can understand her decision to make radical changes in her life. But the show does not deal with the moments that are depressing and when you doubt the point of going on. Nor does it deal with the pain or discomfort, or those days you look like hell. Like so much of what is on TV and in the media it provides people with a model of behavior. A " how to" guide for dealing with life's complexities. And like most of the models provided to the masses it is totally superficial. This is not to say that the show does not have entertainment value, just so long as people realize this is completely unrealistic.
