I would live in a manner to slow the advance of the terminal illness, following all the medical advice to a tee. I would spend a great deal of time grieving in the beginning. I would stop doing any time wasters that do not mean something very special. Yes, I would worry of course and plan for death, then spend my time doing things that I loved, trying to take it a day at a time.Perhaps I would keep a journal.

If you had a terminal illness would you prefer not being told?

I would rather be remembered. It would cause some pain, but I think would on the whole be a comfort to those left behind with all the good memories and feelings. The knowledge that once upon a time you were here and all that that meant.
