This thread is inspired by a death in my family due to cancer. She was given the choice of knowing or not when she would likely die. She chose to not know. 3 months later she died alone with no family around her. This was always the fear.
The great thing about knowing when is that you can plan it all out. Do the things you always wanted to do. Tick off that bucket list. If you have money you can use it all up without worrying about future security. Say all your goodbyes. Plan your own funeral if it matters to you. It would give you so much control.
But could you live with that clock ticking down? That death getting closer by the day? The fear and anticipation could hang over you like a dark cloud and stop you living life.
The question isnt specific to cancer. Just generally, would you like to know the day of your death?
