You've had the MRI scans
before, but it's just to quickly
double check these questions again. You've not had a pacemaker put into your chest or any
artificial heart valves? No. No. You've not had any aneurysm
clips put into your brain, or any shunts put into the
brain? Nope. Have you had any accidents where
metal could have got in your eyes? No. Apart from the head surgery,
have you had any other operations? No. No. And nothing new
in the last couple of months? No

Movie Summary
An uplifting documentary about coping with inoperable cancer may sound unlikely, but here it is. Gordon was diagnosed eight years ago and began using the medium of queer comic books to confront his feelings and fears. He employs humour to get to the heart of taboos surrounding death and disease, weaving many of the wonderful carers and nurses he meets into his expressively illustrated world. Sage, sweet, and stimulating, it is also a long-distance love story between Edinburgh and Virginia, USA. We could all learn a thing or two about love, life – and death – from Gordon.
