50/50...I won't ruin the end! :)

Just got back from watching the movie 50/50 with Mark. It was an amazingly emotional story of a young man (Joseph Gordon Levitt) battling a rare spinal cancer. The manner in which the devastation a cancer diagnosis makes on a young life was moving to watch. From personal experience of dealing with Mark's battle with cancer, it was difficult to watch at times throughout the story line. The character's best friend (Seth Rogan) deals with his own issues regarding life, death and friendship when he is told about the diagnosis. There are multiple relationships the movie deals with : a worrisome mother, a father battling Alzheimer's disease, a girlfriend who doesn't know if she can be a caretaker, a therapist who is dealing with her own emotional battles and a few supporting characters (fellow cancer patients) who make the cast a wonderful mix of interlacing stories. I won't give away the ending, since I'm hoping anyone who reads this will go see it. It was one of the best portrayals of cancer from the patients' point of view I've seen. A little close to home in a several scenes depicting how the characters are dealing with what life has handed them. If you or anyone you know is a fellow warrior in the battle against cancer, go see this movie. You'll laugh, cry and see life differently.
