based on marci glazer crosby


There is very little doubt this "made for TV" movie is about Marci Glazer Crosby of Baltimore, Maryland, who died in 1995 in her mid-30's. She was diagnosed with cancer the third time shortly after giving birth to a daughter, having survived Hodgkin's Lypmphoma at 17 and a tissue cancer in her neck at 25. There is a possibility the second and third cancers were related to her lymphoma radiation treatments, but that's based on educated supposition and conjecture as there's no substantive proof. Her story was the subject of a sixteen-part story during January 1997 in the Baltimore Sun, published using all the real names under the title: "God's Other Plan" (note the slight -- likely deliberate -- title difference).

(her husband bob married the neonatal nurse ,anita root. The babys name was jessica.)

I just read about her....what an amazing woman. And she is right - she did live 80 years in 32. So sad what happened to her, but so lovely that when she died her husband found a new wife and her daughter still had a mother ?

Sorry the heart turned itself into a question mark. But this is a remarkable story, all the more so because it is true. I have the DVD and am watching it just now.
