My cancer doesn’t define me

The diagnosis of life-threatening cancer comes unexpectedly.

Suddenly the world turns upside down, trust in one's own body and the normality of everyday life evaporate in a wavering view of life.

What follows is a permanent state of uncertainty between therapy, getting well and the fear of relapse. How do you deal with not knowing what will happen in two or three months and at the same time coming to terms with what you have just experienced and survived? How do you stay in control of something you can't control? How do you face life, how do you face death, how do you face your own self when these questions become inescapable?

The film accompanies people who face this situation in an extraordinary way.
