    “A young mother discovers that she has breast cancer and reluctantly attends a support group during chemotherapy treatment. The group consists of six breast cancer survivors that band together to take on more than just their cancer and its side effects. They face death and take on life!  They find new meaning for their lives through love and laughter. The play is both a comedy and a tragedy. Comedy is how many of the members deal with the tragedy of cancer. It underlines the tremendous and relentless spirit of breast cancer survivors.  Cancer is nothing to laugh about – but you can choose to laugh at it!”
