How do you react to a medical diagnosis that's basically a death sentence? Dealing with that situation must be quite a challenge - and something we all dread.
Here's how one person dealt with terminal cancer.
Michelle Williams leads the cast here that also includes Jenny Slate, Rob Delaney, David Rasche, Esco Jouléy, Jay Duplass, Kelvin Yu and Sissy Spacek.
Dying for Sex is a comedy-drama inspired by the true story of Molly Kochan (Williams), originally shared on a Wondery podcast created with her best friend, Nikki Boyer.
After Molly receives a diagnosis of Stage IV metastatic breast cancer, she decides to leave her husband Steve, and begins to explore the full breadth and complexity of her sexual desires for the first time in her life.
She gets the courage and support to go on this adventure from her best friend Nikki, who stays by her side until the very end.
