Calendar Girls (2003)-PT 2/10

Helen Mirren and Julie Walters star as Chris and Annie, two bored WI members spurred into action when the latter's husband (John Alderton) dies of leukaemia.
To raise money for the hospital where he was treated, the women persuade their pals to strip for a saucy charity calendar.

I understand. It's really hard to know.

My mum had cancer,but unfortunately her body wasn't so strong.

We fight with her till the end.

I am very happy to have achieved!

I also love sunflowers, are the flowers of hope!

... and if it's a special occasion: get it at Mark's and Spencer's!

The scene with Julie in the waiting room is very true; I have had cancer & I was glad that my mum was with me because I just went numb as they told us about the steps they were going to do to get rid of it. I was glad that my body was strong enough to fight it so I can't imagine being told that your body is not strong enough & there is nothing that they could do about it.

P.S. The speech that Julie's husband wrote is so beautiful! It is true that sunflowers are a wonderful flower.

The WI looks quite fun, but I wonder if I'm too young to join it (I'm nearly 30).

@gicandido Hello Gicandido. :) I've had breat cancer and my family stuck with me through all of it even our son who can be a bit selfish at times. But he stepped up. I can't tell you what it meant to wake up from my operation to see them there. Not to be morbid but it might come back and I'll know they will be there again if it does. It's a growing lesson isn't it? I'm very sorry about your mother. Sounds like she has left a wondeful bit of herself behind. You. Take care. Songsmirth
