My Breast plot
Although the well-known New York columnist Joyce Wadler lives the life of a successful career woman, she questions the love relationships she enters into every time. She is usually sexually attracted to men who are incapable of bonding emotionally, such as Nick. The other man in Joyce's life is her rock, Herb, with whom she has a platonic relationship. The destructive pattern in her life that seems to repeat itself, such as her problems with Nick, ultimately affects her relationship with Herb. Only when Joyce is confronted with the fact that she has breast cancer is she able to set her priorities.
