... when you hear you have an incurable disease?
I would ask for a very conservative estimation of how long I may live, make sure I am as pain free as possible, and start to sort out my affairs.
I would arrange to see all those who matter to me most, and do as many things on my bucket list as possible.
I would sort out my finances, make sure the will is up to date etc...
This way I shall go peacefully.

1/Shit myself probably.
2/Ask if it was infectious.
3/Get a fuck off huge steak.
4/Learn to bake bread.
5/Have an indoor BBQ.
On the second day it would be a whole different story.

Well, first thing I did was cry.
Then I started to panic coz I had known a couple of people with the same condition (MS) previously. Started worrying how I/my family would cope. After a couple of weeks I went into denial but about 3yrs down the road I found acceptance.
Now, 18yrs after diagnosis, there are things I can't do, things I am stubbornly continuing to do and others that I know will eventually creep up on me, but I've always been viciously independent and will continue to live life in the best way I know until the disease prevents me from doing so.
MS is not curable, they can't even do much to hold it at bay, so I (and thousands of others) just live with it as best we can. |

My friends sister is trying to do this, threatening to take her own life. It's so awful for her to watch her sister try to control her own destiny but you can kinda understand why she wants to as well. It's just hard for the relatives waiting for THAT call  |

My sister died of liver failure due to her being anorexic, i remember her telling me before she died that she wished she had took her own life when she was told her illness had gone to far and her organs had started shutting down, if tore my heart out to watch her slowly die, to remember her as a healthy young women reduced to a bed being washed like a child
I couldnt go thro that myself nor could i put my loved ones thro watching me, i think id sooner go before their last memories of me was a frail dying person |
