Step Mom

This film has the requisite mix of emotional turmoil, conflict, sentimentality, and reconciliation that you would expect from a Hollywood hit, but it does differ from other cancer stories in some respects. In particular, it deals with a mother who receives a cancer diagnosis and a new stepmother who must navigate her new family role in emotionally charged times.

Those who have dealt with familial upheavals alongside cancer will be able to appreciate how difficult relationships can become, and how problems and strife can reverberate down to the children.
