Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy

Based on a true story, this TV movie is an insightful and funny take on one woman’s tumble from the peak of health and happiness with her breast cancer diagnosis. Sarah Chalke takes the lead in the story that recounts Geralyn Lucas’s journey through a mastectomy, chemotherapy, and the social tangles that follow her cancer diagnosis.

The film deftly negotiates the ups and downs of cancer for everyone involved, without taking the humor too far. Geralyn is an inspiring and courageous character that is a pleasure to watch, and an excellent source of motivation for anyone walking that same path.
