About Matters of Life & Dating

It's not always easy to look at the light side of breast cancer. But Linda Dackman discovers that there's plenty to laugh about as she tries to re-enter the dizzying dating world post-mastectomy. Dackman's adventures in dating and her intimate and witty insights into appearance, self-image, sex and romance - provide an irreverent and unique look at surviving cancer and the ever-elusive quest to find "Mr. Right."

Does anyone know the name of the song that plays at the very beginning of the movie? Some of the lyrics are"I'm in the groove,I'm in the swing.Not gonna move a thing. I'm having a perfect lovely day".If you happen to know...I would greatly appreciate the info! :)

I thought the movie was an excellent treatment of post-mastectomy issues. However, I offer one caution: it is no longer standard protocol to have a mastectomy for Stage 1 (tumor < 3 cm and no node involvement) breast cancer since several very large clinical studies show similar results with lumpectomy and radiation (and often sentinal node biopsy as well). While this is a very individual decision about relative risk, I would caution anyone with Stage 1 or 2 breast cancer to carefully consider all options and not automatically agree to mastectomy.

I think that this movie brought home the issues that women have to face when they run into any kind of female problem. Most men out there cannot handle it so all we can depend on is our friends and family and awesome support groups. All of the actresses and actors did a splendid job of portraying what the ups and downs of breast cancer.

I went through breast cancer, a double mastectomy,chemo,radiation,a divorce, and dating all in the same two year period.I loved the way this movie touched on so many "biproducts" of cancer. Ricki was wonderful,and I thank her for being brave enough to take on this project.I didn't cry during the movie, but sobbed through the commercials.Go Lifetime!

I noticed that someone commented previously that they are going to add this movie to their ipod. I would love to do the same. What is the procedure? I have an ipod nano..I believe that it holds videos.
