The “50/50” has been different from the cancer related movies I have watched before. The plot tried to showcase the reality that one goes through when experiencing this situation. It also showed the perspective from family members and friends. I consider it essential to learn how to approach this situation when you know someone who has cancer. Sometimes support is the most important thing that a person needs. However, as shown by the movie this can only be done if the person is ready and open to talk about their situation. Once this occurs it is important to listen to them. Listening is a key concept when being there for someone. Sometimes we go the extra mile and provide people with advice, but this can come off the wrong way and make the person feel worse. It can be hard for us to stop giving advice since if we really care about the person we would do whatever it takes to help them feel better. Consequently, it can be hard to sympathize with a person in this situation, so listening can be a good way of showing your support.
