Hi,
Although maybe not what you thought you would hear at this stage . . . . . . . but heh . . . . . it could be worse.
Think of all the positives and you may well out-live the doctors expectations.
If your 'glass is half full' you will make the most of the time, whatever that time is.
Four years ago, I died twice in theatre after a motorcycle accident and although my glass was half full before it, it is even more full now and within reason, I live for the moment and treat each day as if it could be my last. No matter what the doctors have told you, no-one knows what is round the corner for them.
I can give you two examples as to why you should try to forget the life expectancy you have been given. 1. my brother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer and told on the Friday of the May holiday weekend that he may be lucky to see christmas with his family - he was dead by the Monday! 2. my mother-in-law was told 2 to 3 months and she lasted over 3 years and made the most of it.
It really is down to your own outlook at times and some things are totally out-with our control and expectations.
I do wish you all the best and hope you can be positive with what you have ahead of you.

Christ, very sorry to hear that mate. What do you say when someone tells you something like that?
Very similar situation as this myself. I nearly died when I was 25. It changed my outlook on life and my attitude towards it. It makes you realise how short life can be and how little petty things just aren't worth your time or worrying about.
Try to enjoy whatever time you have left. Go crazy, do some crazy shit. Go skydive, go to vegas and blow a load of cash and let off some steam, do whatever it is that you've always wanted to do but put it off. That's my point. Don't let this thing beat you before it's already begun. Try and be positive and enjoy whatever time you have left.
You've should tell friends/family mate. You'll need their support. They will be strong for you.
Totally agree.

Sorry to hear this TRAMPY but its how you deal with it thats important. Now I know everyones different and deal with things in different ways but dont let it ruin whatever time you have left. I found a lump in May and was diagnosed with cancer in August Ive had 2 ultrasounds - chest scan - CT scan - needle biopsy - surgical biopsy - seen a skin specialist - going on Tuesday 10th to see cancer proffessor and have a MRI scan on the 19th November, the surgical biopsy has been examined by loads of specialists and they cant tell what type of cancer it is or where its coming from - have I thought about it = yes Am I going to worry about it = Nahhh, bought VXR8 on September 1st went away to Malaysia middle of Sep (came back 5th Oct and in for surgey 8am on the 6th Oct) Do I worry about anything = yes about keeping the VXR8 clean and whats for dinner tonight. Keep your spirits up

Totally agree. I can't say I've had any experience of things like this but I know a mate who has.He was born with a twisted spine, the doctors said he would never make it to go to school - he did. He had various operations and they had to remove 2/3 thirds of his lungs to try and rectify his spine.
They said he would never make it to 15 but he did. They said he would never make it so he would work but he did.
He lost his brother when he was only about 30 to cancer, his parents and sister were also lost to the same cancer, he knows that he carries the cancer gene too but hes outlived all his family so far and nobody would have thought that.
Hes now 44 and lives in Thailand enjoying himself, he played golf the other day (a full 18 hole course) which he hasn't been able to do in years. His girlfriends expecting their first kid on Christmas day !!
No matter what they tell you don't take it as gospel thats its going to happen - as has been said go and do something either crazy or just something that you've wanted to do for a long time.
Most of all spend time with your great kids, they will support you just as much as you have supported them.
Good luck mate and keep us posted on developments.
