Italia Ricci plays April Carver, a 20-something going through cancer, on on ABC Family’s
Chasing Life. Part of the role calls for her to wear a bald cap, but at the end of the day the extraordinary actress has to take it off. Looks like from these photos, she can’t wait for that happen. Does anyone blame her?
When it comes to the Chasing Life if you are not watching it, then you are missing out on a very special drama. The show tackles cancer, remission and being a patient or a survivor like no other show has ever done. It shows you that can live life as you do everyday, but then one day it can all change with a phone call. Unlike most other shows that have tackled cancer, the drama shows you all aspects of life with it, going through it and what happens when you beat it. Then if you do beat it, what happens if you think it is back. That is where the show stands as of now, and tonight at 9p April will find out if her worse fears are confirmed that her cancer is back or like some people in remission the anxiety is getting the best of her. All of this leads into next week’s season finale.
So if you have never seen the show, you can watch a few of the later episodes on the ABC Family app or OnDemand. I also highly suggest that when it becomes available on home video that you buy it. It can help you if, Gd forbid, you have someone in your life who is going through cancer. I know it helped me to get over a friend, who I lost to the same type of cancer, just a few months before the show debuted.
