Review of 50/50 (2011) by Bruce_S — 08 Oct 2011
50/50 is based on a true "loosely based" story of screenwriter Will Reiser's diagnosis and treatment of a spinal sarcoma. There are over 50 different types of sarcoma. We lost our 37-year old daughter to one of them, Ewing's sarcoma.
Although difficult for us at times, both my wife and myself enjoyed the movie very much. Several scenes struck home. As a cancer survivor, I related to the fear of being wheeled away into surgery. On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate this move a 9 and a "must see" for all caregivers.
You can learn about the rare and dangerous cancers called "sarcoma" in The Sarcoma Learning Center at http://bit.
