This is a bit difficult really i need to know what sort of things people would want to do if they were ever put into the situation of being diagnosed with terminal cancer.
The cancer spread could be slowed down using a combination of treatments which could then give a life span of maybe another 3-4 years, but the side effects are often pretty dire, and therefore any remaining time could be spent feeling really crap, but with family.
Or
Would you sod the treatment and spend the next two years having the time of your life and trying to make as many memories for your friends, family and children as possible.
Or would you try to combine the two and hope that you strike a balance between feeling uselessly crap and hoping that the treatment is working.
Also- would you want to work through a 'list' of things to do before...?
I know this is a difficult subject- and that's why I'm asking mn'ers opinions- it seems to be a very taboo subject in rl
