Irrational thoughts

2. Mental processes

I went through this when my Dad was Dx with cancer. What is easier - getting the knock on the door/phone call telling us that there has been an accident, or having a doctor tell us "he has a year".

In his case, I definitely appreciated the heads up. He had an untreatable cancer and indeed lived 1 year and 10 days from his Dx. We had that time with him, and were able to plan to his wishes.

When it is your own Dx, its different.

Not sure how I feel on that whole "knowing" (or "this will likely kill me, but when&quot thing - but I completely get what you posted. Its a Catch-22 without any answers.
