Re: My daughter wrote this article for ELLE
Beautifully written and very thought provoking. I have felt an inner aversion to the Red Band Society. Exactly why I am not sure. Silly things bug me about the promo, like how bushy and full the main character's eyebrows are when his head is so bald. I know some chemos do not take the eyelashes and brows, but let's face it the bad-uns do. By the end of chemo I looked more like a child on a St. Jude's commercial then one of the kids on Red Band.
Now thanks to your brave and gifted daughter I can have a peace about this show. I may even tune in believing that she is right in saying that it may spur the masses to donate to research outlets.
