50/50.. A good movie for laughs...

I recently watched 50/50 for kicks and needed some humor because I am in a funky mood... i.e. I am feeling sorry for myself.  Basically, the whole premise of this movie is this young guy gets cancer and the prognosis is not good.  Boy, doesn't that sound familiar? It goes through the steps of the process of getting the initial diagnosis and directly handling it internally and externally. The main character had great development but the romantic side of it was expected and predictable. The only thing really lacking with the whole cancer process portrayed within the movie was the constant feeling you are vulnerable for another re-occurrence of the disease. At points, this can be a paralyzing fear. I would recommend to any  young person with cancer.
