We can’t all be saved by the bell

44 is way to young, but is getting diagnosed and being done 3 weeks later a bad way to go?

Would you want the 3 weeks, or not?

I'd probably do all the drugs. And take a swing at a few people.  What would I care,  I'm already dead.

This kind of news always makes me sad.  It's too young and cancer is not a pleasant way to go, long or short.  I'm sure stories vary, but I have seen people slowly die for quite a while before they actually get their cancer diagnosis.  My mother went to her primary care physcian and multiple specialists with trouble breathing for well over a year before someone noticed her body was full of tumors when she had a leg scan for something everyone thought would be unrelated.  Terminal lung cancer at that point.  (no, she never smoked)

If I can be up and around until the day I croak, that's fine with me. Would be nice to have some time to get things in order, but we don't always get that.

If I'm lucky, I won't see it coming...lights out. 

Reminds me of the joke:

I hope to die in my sleep, like my grandfather; not in terror and fear...like his passengers. 

Wouldn't even wish that  on someone I didn't like.

oooof. I think I'd prefer to have the 3 weeks to get a few things in order and tell a handful of people how much they mean to me. 

But you have to wonder if you get the 3 weeks notice do you end up spending the whole time fighting against it? Can you change it? There's a lot of paradox involved in this type of scenario. 

And, no different from anything else in your life, you won't get to know if you made the right decision until after you make it. 

Knock knock is SCREECH in da house???

I wouldn't want to know. There was some odd comfort in knowing my wife likely didn't see it coming and never had the drawn out worries she was afraid of. It may have been harder on the rest of us but she made sure she lived every day just in case. 
 

Because I'm a terrible person:

I always liked that one; my wife thinks I’m horrible...
