Notes	A woman is first seen by doctors some three months earlier and pronounced O.K. Later she starts to lose blood. Records have been lost which show she has had abnormal test results over the past two years. In fact she needs a hysterectomy but can't have one because ofa problem with her pelvis. So she's given instead chemotherapy. The film then jumps forward to the point where she's had 35 sessions of this. Her boyfriend (she dumped a rich guy for a bartender) has his head in the sand and keeps saying she'll be O.K. Her doctor pronounces her in remission but soon after that she is told she has a new tumour at the base of her spine which is inoperable. This could be an interesting film but these people haven't learned the grammar of film-making and most of the scenes are hackneyed or unreal. Because of the lost records and the chance that if she had been treated in time she would live she sues the hospital and there follows a court scene.
