Dunno, but I doubt I'd give up and decide the doctors knew everything and I was doomed. Far too many folks have refused to accept such a prognosis and beat the odds. I know a couple -- they never prepared to die, never refused to give up, and instead focused their energies on *living.* (They also stopped talking to doctors that only wanted to talk about their impending tragedy.)

You might die anyway, but dwelling on the number of days or months you have left to live and if you're going to fit everything in your last moments seems an unhappy end.
