What would you do in your last hours/days/weeks if you discover that you are diagnosed with a terminal illness? Most probably I would chose to spend more time with my family, going abroad or somewhere where we can enjoy each other. What would you do in your last hours/days?

Of course I will inform my family about the diagnoses...spend more time with my family and friends...I will donate my money to a foundation and enjoy life to the fullest...and I would be very thankful for having such illness for I will no longer feel the pain that I am suffering in my life.

Pull out my bucket list (that I haven't written yet) and start travelling.

I would dedicate my remaining time (however small) to helping as many people as I could. I would do as much community service as I could cram into each day and would strive to make as many people smile as I could and would share my belief in the oneness of humanity with as many people as possible and strive to eliminate prejudice of all kinds. I realize this is a lot to accomplish but I would do as much as I could in the time I had.

I would pray and ask God to heal me.. By his stripes we are healed.. That means that Jesus has already done bared the cross, and he has shed his blood for us, so we should not allow ourselves to be labeled as being sick..

I've already had two experiences where I thought I might not make it. So, I'be had some time to think about it and have already made peace with my beliefs. Once you are sure you know there is nothing to be afraid of and that it will just be another adventure, your fear passes away. I don't think I would start traveling around, after all if I hadn't seen the places I wanted to see by then, I wouldn't want to be rushing to see them at the last minute. If I had time, I think I would sereiously consider who I would want to see or talk to again and if there was anyplace close by that I would want to see again like the ocean and the beach. I would try to go over all my life and what lessons I'd learned. I'd see if there was anything else I should have learned or tried to understand. I'd try to make sure I completed what I came here to do.

If I only had a few hours to live, I'd have my family and all my close friends near me by my side so that I could tell all of them how much they mean to me and how much I've loved them. If I had a few days, I'd probably eat as much good food as I could with friends and family and make the most of my last days here in the living realm. If I had a few months, I'd probably travel the world with my family and my girlfriend and share the sights of the world with them.

Hi Ronald. Well being somewhat pragmatic I have to admit that I will not have the funds to pay for long term health care, not to mention the cost of taking expensive trips in my last months weeks or days. So, I think I will spend time organizing my affairs and preparing my wife to deal with her own future. Then, of course, I will try to spend lots of the remaining time with my children and grand children. Happy MyLotting .......
