| | Notes | Kate Nelligan plays a judge who has been keeping it a secret she has breast cancer. Treatment has got nowhere. Then she is told that a new treatment in Texas might do the trick. Though her motto (and possible epitaph) is "I'm not going to die. Disease is a state of ther mind." She commutes to Texas (I can't remember where she lives) but her condition can no longer be hidden. She misses out on promotion. She finishes with her boyfriend and succumbs to her ex-husband who is being really helpful. Their son who hates his father eventually bonds with him. While she has been wearing a wig to disguise the treatment (she should have been an English judge) she discards it with an air of accepting her fate. Because the new treatment doesn't work. She is in hospital about to die when her ex and her son take her outside to expire. Nothing special about this film though I like Nelligan, and nothing particularly bad except the usual made of TV approach.
