Chasing Life

Watched all the show so far and have enjoyed it.

I was diagnosed with A.M.L when 27 years old.I rarely stopped work had my chemo and went into remission about 10 weeks later.

As a long term cure I was given a Bone Marrow Transplant a few months later.

This was nearly 27 years ago,I am now 54 and work over 50 hours each week.This shows mirrors me back then,I'm guessing she will need a Transplant,probably from the sister she has yet to meet.

I have found the show to be very accurate so far ,right down to the bleeding gums.That was one of my worst moments when I was kissing my girlfriend back then.

The show really pulled me in without ever feeling like it demanded anything from me. Some shows you feel need your full attention, others want you to cry every other episode, some drive you insane with cliff hangers. For me this got a great balance of keeping my interest without asking too much of me for what it is.

It stays reasonably light hearted and doesn't take itself too seriously. It's also great if you're feeling a bit sorry for yourself to put things in perspective while not making you feel bad about occasionally wallowing in your own self pity, possibly while binge watching this show online.

I watched the whole first season in about three days while recovering from surgery and loved it. Really looking forward to season two :)

My best-friends boyfriend has Leukemia, I hadn't known him when he was first diagnosed, but he's had it for at least 2-3 years now and he still works, has fun, maintains a social relationship, has a prescription for medical marijuana, he did drop out of College because of his health-care expenses, but otherwise, he has a pretty normal life. So the two other reviews of people saying "When you have Leukemia, this.. that.." are true, but they aren't the case 100% of the time.

I've seen every episode of this show so far, and it's thoroughly entertaining, The girl does her best to live while she still has time, She highlights her motivations to fight cancer, the best part about it however, is the feeling it gives you after you're done watching it, it's one of those shows that motivates you, challenges you to do something with your life, seeing someone else struggle shouldn't be your motivation, however, it's a real eye-opener and it's definitely going to give you a positive, more optimistic mindset whenever you watch it.

It's kind of too early though, I'm hoping the writers take it in a good direction with such a sensitive topic.

Edit: I wrote this review when the show was still on Episode 2 or 3. Just got done watching S2 E8, It's got a 10/10. Thoroughly entertaining, very emotional (I must admit, it's had me in tears); Just amazing overall.

Just getting off the ground, this series has some uneven parts, but on the whole is likable and might have a good chance of sticking around for awhile. The cast is solid and the storyline fairly well written. Some of the character's rough spots seem to have been smoothed out over the course of the few shows, and for the first seven episodes they did manage to keep interest and production values held at a very consistent level. Some will argue that as it relates to the main subject it's not totally accurate.. but why should it really pretend it's supposed to be... it is after all still a TV program, not a documentary. Can it hold up for multiple seasons will have to be determined, but so far it's been one of the better shows out there.

Why was this show cancelled???? I had watched it before and rewatched it again on Netflix. I loved it from beginning to end. The actors are all excellent and the storylines entertaining (as much as one can be while dealing with issues of cancer). Season two just ended without any resolution to anything. This is very frustrating. Whoever made the decision to axe this show should be axed themselves. Please, please if any exec producers or any person like that is reading this, please reconsider continuing the show, although I assume the actors have all moved on to different things now but anything is possible - hey they brought Will & Grace back!
