When I was seeing 50/50 I was for the most time in shock just by seeing how terrible of a life people have to face when diagnosed with Cancer especially with only a 50% survival chance. However, what stood out to me was the important of being strong during such hard times as hard time come to pass and not to last (his surgery ended up being successful helping the main character lead the normal life). In my own life many a times I have faced issues such as not getting enough sleep during finals week but I made sure I fought through and never gave up and eventually things did end up getting better.
