Breast cancer has many faces. One out of every eight women on the planet will be diagnosed with breast cancer. It is non-discriminatory, globally pervasive and on the rise. Rochelle Poulson (Ro) is exceptional, but her cancer is not. When asked, Ro doesn’t see cancer as a curse. “I saw my crossroads, and I decided to be a warrior…” Ro’s fight doesn’t end on the last day of radiation and the completion of this movie won’t be a wrap. Her aim is to educate other women; though, there are no finite answers when it comes to cancer. After this life-altering event, Ro finds herself living in the moment and this is her fundamental message, “I am no longer concerned with how people see me. Who everyone wants me to be is insignificant. Now, instead of focusing on the hardships or my scars I choose to live lighter and more simply.” Ro goes on to say, “At 36, if I have learned anything in my life – from being a missionary, a partner, a political activist, to working with Planned Parenthood – is that if you don’t make a lot of noise and tell people you need help then you aren’t going to get your goals accomplished. So, that is just what I am going to do with cancer.” Cancerpants shows the struggles, losses, triumphs and joys that surround breast cancer and the people who it affects. Experience this ride, as Rochelle educates us while she educates herself, on this journey.
