Sucks, but I'm only one in billions who is to pass anyways. Not many people to say "bye" to. I don't think I'd do much of anything different.

	Cooper - would be interested in your facts, since you issued a blanket statement of untrue with no supporting information.

Some conditions have quick onset and are not detrimental to quality of life (in a serious way) until the very end. That said, thought exercises are allowed to have parameters set.

1. I'd probably tell people who i knew wouldn't freak out
2. I'm not sure. Business as usual? I mean i guess i could take a vacation, but what would be the point?

[Muse]

I would tell people, and then I would travel and see the things I want to see, and talk to anyone that caught my eye.

Cooper - would be interested in your facts, since you issued a blanket statement of untrue with no supporting information. My reference is having spent 1.5 years on a cancer ward, with cancer and watching a number of people die and attending their funerals. I have also been personally involved with a few other close relatives in terminal situations. I didn't see a single one of these people who died going out having the time of their life partying, traveling the world and such.

I have buried two close personal friends that were diagnosised with brain tumors. Both were told exactly what was stated in the OP. I have also had 16 family members diagnosised with cancer, and have been an American Cancer Society volunteer for over 20 years....terminal illness is something I am familiar with. I did not say the OP was the norm, did I?

I wouldn't tell anyone really. There's not that many people that would care and those that do wouldn't known for months to years afterwards so they can find on their own time.
Til my death, I would try to accomplish as many of my goals as I could before I began to decline and make sure to be very loving. Possibly even uncharacteristically so.

	My biggest wish before I die is to go to space. I guess that would be out of the window. That's why I don't bother with bucket lists. Mine would be impossible to fulfill.

Dude, I don't want to hear that shit. The Chinese were fucking around with rockets and fireworks and shit back in the 9th century, I'll be god damned if I'm going to listen to you saying you can't go to space.

What was that one movie from the 80s where the kids build that space ship and they go to space and meet aliens and all that? You can be like them, dude, if you just put your mind to it.

[La Comtesse]

So.... what's to say that this isn't true? Perhaps some of us may only have six months left. Or one month. Or a week.

Why aren't you out on those epic adventures, travelling the world, talking to that mysterious someone who caught your eye, and telling the closest of friends how much you care for them.. right now?

1. Maybe after quite a while.
2. a. Talk to my sister, hopefully repeatedly.
2. b. Do really deep stuff, e.g. take long walks in nature, clean my apartment as a spiritual exercise.
2. c. Finish as much creative work as I can.

Why stop at a children's movie? I can be like Bugs Bunny and pull a space ship out of my ass right now, if I put my mind to it.

1. tell people

2. go to my own funeral and get a few things off my chest on the way out.

[eagleseven]

I would tell people who would be affected by my condition, but not everyone I know. What would I do then?

1. Stop working, liquidate all my savings, and take my closest lifelong friends and family travelling until the money runs out or I'm incapacitated from the disease. Perhaps revisit my favorite places on Earth.

2. Don't have enough money to worry about an estate, but make sure my life insurance distributions and living will are clearly spelled out.

3. Write letters to everyone I care about, to be distributed before my funeral. And a final video-message to be played during my funeral.

4. Once I'm in the end-stages of the disease, find a comfortable place to die and think my last living thoughts.

---

I've thought about this a lot, given the number of extremely bad results I've reported out, sometimes moments before a patient dies. It's only a matter of time before I get the bad report.

In fact, I've often fantasized about my last moments. Looking up into a fading sky, struggling to have a cohesive thought, before giving in to the release of death. Perhaps with my guts spewed out in front of me, the worst pain of my life.

Death molds my life, keeping it honed on what really matters.

	If you were told you had six to eight months to live, all good until the last 3 to 4 weeks.... 1. Would tell people?

No, they'd give you useless sympathy and ask you pointless questions.

	2. What would you do with your time left?

I'd become a streetfighter, you know, go around with dual knuckle dusters beating up thugs, try and get killed before I die.
