About this work
Description
This very moving documentary, by Luke Holland, follows his brother Peter's fight against Myeloma, a rare form of bone marrow cancer which is incurable. The film moves between the 10 days following Peter's death and his fight against the disease from the moment of diagnosis onwards. The picture of how terminal cancer affects the sufferer and those around them is filled in with great detail and subtlety. Particularly moving is Peter's relationship to his partner Jeannette and the affect of his illness and death on his elderly parents. Valuable insights into the medical treatment of this kind of myeloma are also given.
