Dr. David Edwards is a cancer specialist, and his life is his work. His only friend is Lou Rosen, 73. Lou is also David's patient, but at his age, chances are grim. Still, everyone deserves a chance, or at least that's what David thought before Sonny Collins walked into his office. On paper, Sonny looked ideal for his experimental trial: early forties with an inoperable baseball-sized tumor in his lung. But his file didn't say anything about his attitude: crass, crude, and indignant.

Sometimes healing has nothing to do with medicine.

| User ReviewLorelie LIf there are sick persons who are kindhearted, there are also those who are as hostile as the disease they carry. I wanted to applaud the cancer patient who took the defense of his doctor. The bully did not deserve the doctor's time or effort, however being his patient, the doctor remained kind and took care of him although he was rude. |
| User ReviewIda KI really disliked the beginning of this movie because the patient was such a tool. It got better once he acquired some humility and I got to see the dynamics of why the two clashed so much. I just wish it had ended on a happier note. |
| User ReviewBrian FUneven film, but it has some genuine moments, but tends to be too sentimental. The acting is good, but no one is great. Okay story marred by extreme characters and in the long run it failed to convince me. |
