   Life is terminal if you wait for it to end.  In some cases the end may come   
   sooner than expected.   
      
   As for taking your life, I have known many with difficult diagnoses and   
   they all chose to enjoy life for as long as possible.  I believe they and   
   those around them were better off from that choice.  Live while you can!   
   We only get to do this once.
