If you had cancer and told you had only a few months to live, what would you do, say, go?

Question

My Dad was told he has about 6 months left. He will no longer get chemo because it not helping any more. We are going to make them the best months ever!!!! I love my Dad very much and will do whatever makes him happy.
We also have to consider my Mom because she is losing her partner of 45 years. It is going to be tough, but I know my brothers and siser will be there for both my parents.

Answer 1

I'd hook up with Dr. Kevorkian and make arrangements, also to have my ashes made into a Life Gem, then go on a big shopping spree buying loved ones things they'd cherish forever. Hug EVERYBODY. Plan my "funeral" which would instead be a celebration, a wonderful party, instead of a sobfest-- no $ wasted on morticians or parlors or caskets or burials, just have someone pass out those gifts. I love fireworks so I'd go see lots of displays and hire a company for the "funeral" party. Then when the excruciating pain sets in..... just review my life, be happy, regret nothing, and take that bottle of pills.

Answer 2

My precious identical twin sister was just recently diagnosed with liver cancer. A lot of her time has been spent at doctor's offices, but this month she will be going to Colorado to see her sons and her grandchildren for the first time in many years! She finally spent some money on an awesome recliner that makes into a bed, and is finally starting to think of herself instead of everyone else.

We may soon have an appointment together for liver transplant surgery (now there's an idea for a vacation) as our genes are identical, so rejection won't be a problem. It's strange, she is scared, but seems to be handling things so well. I, on the other hand, am falling apart at the seams!

She's being a good role model and source of strength for me, but it seems like it should be the other way around! Have a wonderful week! Annie

Answer 3

well just to gripe if youre going to die from cancer in a couple months that cancer is most probably gonna be incredibly bad to the point where you can barely move. Like brain cancer, lets just say you wont be going to disney world on a stretcher on life support with a team of neurologists and neuro surgeons. But if I could go anywhere It would probably to india to see the taj mahal. This is mostly because the fact that I am hindu and that I havent been there since I was just 12 months old.

Answer 4

i'm very sorry for what your family is and will be going through, i've been there my dad developed cancer and was told he might have a year or 2 but he died 6 weeks later, so be there for your parents and spend every second you have being with your dad making him compfortable when it needs to be done and make him happy and remember this will help him but it will also help you later i can vouch for that just don't take 1 minute for granted you never know what tommorrow may bring. i'll pray for your family, best wishes

Answer 5

I've though about this before. I think the best thing to do would be to help out the world around you. After all you're going to be dead, so it won't matter what you've seen, gone to, and bought. So I would just spend time with my family, help my parents pay off the house, and give the rest of my money to send my siblings to college.

Answer 6

All I could tell you is to spend the last moments with him and make them as special as you can. I'm really sorry to hear that. this is a very painfull thing to go through , especially when youo know the bad news already.

Answer 7

truthfully, i would jack a gun from someone, drive to the whitehouse (if i dont die on the way there) and shoot our *** of a president
then i would put on my black gothic dress that i saved for the prom and buy a pair of fairy wings n put loads of makeup so i looked like a fairy
then i would run accross the country, go to alaska, get to europe, find danny and kick his ***, and then backtrack to japan and live out the rest of my days pretending that im an evil angel fairy stalker
ill chose a person, show myself when their secluded, then continue doing so until they think their crazy XD
well actually, there is one more thing that i would do before i died, but its too embarrasing to tell X)

Answer 8

I'd go on an amusement park spree with my kid. I'd tell everyone what I REALLY think of them, those that I love and those that I hate. I'd enact all the "if i die all my debt will be wiped off policies" on my credit accounts, and spoil my kid rotten. And I'd abuse my power to sleep with whomever I want to seduce all the hotties I've been lusting after :)

Answer 9

I'm sorry to hear about your dad ,but you and your family should not give up .go see another doctor and get a second opinion. there could be other ways for your dad to get a diagnoses

Answer 10

I would get more opinions and maybe try Cancer Treatment Centers of America. I hope they are as good as their ads on TV!
