事情并没有向着想象中的美好的方向前进,正如事情也不会一直向着糟糕的方向堕落。凯瑟琳没有对家人说出自己的病情,却无法独自承受这种精神压力。她尝试了一下癌症互助团体,对于他们所倡导的Cancer is a gift很不能理解。也许把这样的天灾人祸说成是礼物,因为它教会人们在有限的生命内更加热爱生命。可是谁都不希望这样的幸运降落在自己头上。
Congratulations to me, I got my first pity job. Now I'd tell you to take your pity and shove it, but you know what? I don't care.I mean if this is why I got the job, screw it, I'll take it, because I love my job. You may hired me for the wrong reasons, but if you trying fire the lady with cancer, you'll better fire a damn good lawyer.(One of the parents:What a bitch.)Yeah I am a bitch. I'm a tough,brave bitch.And if you let me, I will turn all of these girls into tough brave bitches too who coulg go all the way to the championship. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to take my team whoever still on it out for a run.
到了我最喜欢的部分。男同病得越来越重,治疗却没起到丝毫作用。他决定放弃治疗。他信佛,淡定,在治疗无果后便不再把癌症当做天大的事情。他还在过着没得癌症时候的生活,也许他的口头禅会是“No big deal”或是“Take it easy”。可是凯瑟琳不一样。她是一个坚强的战士,她的敌人就是癌症,不是你死就是我活,她不能跟癌症握手言和,她不想等死。她代表了最主流的价值观吧,争分夺秒,生活中求事业为家庭,得病了便坚强地与癌症做斗争。
