Hazel agrees and after arriving at Augustus’ house, he introduces her to his parents. Augustus asks her to come over to his house to watch the movie with him. Hazel does not believe him because she carries an oxygen tank and her cancer treatment has made her cheeks red and puffy, but they continue to flirt. He is there to support his friend, Isaac who has lost an eye to a rare form of eye cancer and now must get the other eye removed.Īfter the meeting, August approaches Hazel and tells her she looks like Natalie Portman from V for Vendetta.

Augustus has lost one of his legs to a form of cancer called osteosarcoma, but his cancer is now in remission. During the discussion, the attendees introduce themselves, and Hazel learns the boy’s name is Augustus Waters. One day upon arriving at the support group, however, Hazel is delighted to see a handsome new boy in attendance. Hazel does not like the support group, but goes to make her mother happy. At the request of her mother, who believes she is depressed, Hazel attends a cancer support group in the basement of a church. Hazel Grace Lancaster is a seventeen-year-old living with cancer.
