May I continue this thread? (((((Candy)))) my heart goes out to you while you face this.
We all are dying. Most of us don't know when, many of us don't want to know. I found a freedom to "knowing" when I thought I and the doctors knew...
it made me really see what "the small stuff" was... it helped me to not waste energy on things that really, in the big picture, meant nothing. It showed me who I wanted to spend time with, and who I didn't. Stuff like that.
Knowledge is good. But also good is not taking everything as "gospel" because there is always the element of a higher power's intervention, imo.
Becoming "friends" with death is probably not what you are up to, nor what you want to do right now. IMO, if you could, then you might be better strengthened to fight it out, and live.
