Overview
On June 7, 2002, at 9:00 a.m., Cindy Moulton received a phone call that would forever change her life and that of her family. Her father broke the news that during a routine surgery, the doctor had taken a biopsy from Cindy's mother, Gloria, that revealed what appeared to be a rare type of malignant melanoma. After a series of tests, the worst-case scenario was confirmed: Gloria had tumors in her lungs, brain, and other organs. In the seven months that followed her mother's strenuous battle with this deadly disease, Cindy and her family faced numerous ups and downs. She recounts the urgency to find the right doctors, the physically draining aftereffects her mother endured as a result of brain surgery and multiple rounds of biochemotherapy, and the family's emotional devastation after a hopeful recovery was ultimately deemed impossible. Unfortunately, Gloria did not survive her battle with cancer. But her strength and memory live on through Cindy's words as she recalls the natural stages of grief and acceptance in those final months. An honest portrait of hardship and tribute to healing, Seven Months is a testament to the deep love and heartbreak one endures when losing a beloved parent to cancer.
