If you were given a diagnosis of a terminal illness that held no hope of a cure...what would you change about your life? Would you try to achieve some long sought goal? Would you mend relationships and try to right wrongs? Would you spend more quiet time with your loved ones..one on one time? Or would you arise in the morning carrying out your regular schedule until you couldn't do that any longer? Would you quit work...or stay as long as you could? Would you try to travel or see things and places you had a long desire to see? Would you travel to see people you had a long desire to see? What do you think you would choose to do in the last months of your life on this earth? Would you opt for treatment even if it was useless in the medical community's eyes? People have these decisions to make every day...what would you choose?

Surely, my life will change. I might not be able to do some activities that will strain me or worsten my illness. I'll be bombarded with lots of medicines that may alter my mood or diminish my energy. But one thing I'm sure gonna do........spend more time with my family, and the people I love most.

Family is so important..I agree that surrounding one's self with loved ones would be so comforting..

First thing I will to settle all my debts. Second I will make a will of my property and savings. Thirdly I go and stay with my family and enjoy each and every day with them.Treatment is one thing I will never go in for.
