When do you let your family and friends know that your terminal?
Got screened earlier this summer and they found cancer, then did a second more thorough screening and its pretty much everywhere, and without advancing medical science 150 years there's nothing anyone can do to stop me from dying.
If my doctors are to be taken at their word, I'll be dead before January.
I don't really have any good idea of when to tell people that i'm not gonna be around because I dont want to put people in a situation where they feel like they are required to give me their attention when I ask for it, and also dont want to cause everyone an extended period of grieving in knowing that i'm gonna be dead sooner rather than later. But, I also know that when i've had friends that were dying, I wished I knew sooner so I could be there if they needed something, though i'm also a person that made peace with people dying forever ago so death isn't a big thing for me the way it is for others.
