Has anyone seen the Bucket List?

I went to see the movie the Bucket List tonight:
It brought back some bad memories at first, then I laughed and cried. I didn't like how they portrayed chemo. Pucking over the toilet non stop and shaking in bed. I just think that scares people about chemo and if someone is dx, they might not want to do tx. I know my uncles brother a few years ago found out he had cancer and shot himself on his parents grave...anyway, chemo, most chemo i should say is not like that. the story was good though. Family means everything. It made me think again about what i want to do before I die....go to Germany and sail down the Ryne River and visit the castles, being one. Hopes and dreams are still there no matter what!

I saw it last week and thought the same. Chemo was totally different for me. It did bring up many emotions from my experience. I saw it with my husband and mother and I could see it hit them the same way. Not to mention my dad is in a coffee can. It's what he always wanted, but his is a golden 100% columbian. lol

I saw the movie about two weeks ago. As you mentioned, I also had big emotions at first, but at the end it made me think that I should profit every single minute and enjoy and do everything I want. I love travelling, and as them, I would like to do a lot of travelling around the world as they did. God bless you all.
