He says, "Son, you've got terminal cancer and it has progressed so far that there is nothing practical that we can do other than prescribe pain medication and hospice when you feel you need it."
So what do you do?
1. Do you get depressed and angry at the same time, moaning, "Why me? Why does sheet like this have to happen to me?"
2. You doubt the doctor and immediately try to get a second opinion.
3. You start jumping up and down with joy because you know you are going to a better place.
4. ?

Getting a second opinion on something this serious is practically a given. You have to be absolutely positive it's the right prognosis. Otherwise you end up quitting your job, spending all you retirement money on wine and women only to wake up six months later broke and homeless, ..................... but not dead. Then what? Well, ....you march down to your doctors office to find out what's up, but he won't see you now because you no longer have medical insurance. So, you take your doctor to court, and lucky you, you've actually won a settlement. Good for you. But by now you're feeling other maladies affecting your body, so you go to a different doctor. He tells you that your liver has quit working from all the booze you've been drinking and also you've contracted some nasty form of social disease that you got from the floozies you've been spending your time with. And between your liver and your incurable, highly contagious VD, you've got maybe six months to live. So, what do you do now? - 1. Shoot yourself
- 2. Shoot your original doctor
- 3. Shoot everybody
- 4. Seduce the original doctors wife

Actually, if I were told this 20 - 30 years ago, I probably would've sought out some alternative type of cure. (Witch doctor, shaman, voo-doo or whatever. What've you got to lose at that point). But today, at 56, I'd just take care of everything that needs to be taken care of, and then simply enjoy what time I have left.
