Cork Girls follow American lead to put positive face on treatment and recovery

A group of bold, brash women cancer patients in America are also taking cancer by storm.

And like those members of the Cork Girls Club, they have a lot to teach us about the business of living. Since their diagnosis, these woman have fallen in love, had children, got married, made movies, written books, started support organisations and raised money.

“The new face of cancer is people living with the disease, managing it, and in some ways making a better life,” says Kris Carr, of America’s Learning Channel. “It’s not about how long you live. It’s about how you live.”
