What would you do if you were told you had 6 months to live?

If you knew you were dying like my mom and brother did with cancer, what would you do in the next 6 months? Take the chemo and be bedridden and sick or get up and go???? What would you do????

    I would quit my job but first get out a big loan and enough insurance to pay it off, plus make sure there was enough to take care of my kids. Then, I'd take them out of school, get an RV and travel all over the USA. I'd homeschool them so they wouldn't get behind, and we'd visit all the most wonderful places. Their dad died 4 years ago. I want them to remember me in the best way possible.

    If I my kids were out of the house already, I'd go for the latter.... right now as a Mom with two young boys- I would go for the chemo.

    i would do all the crazy things i always planned to do one day but i never had the time ....

    i would travel with my husband as much as we could afford...

    i wouldnt go for any medical treatment and would never set my foot in the hospital again...

    id try and go back over all the regrets i had in my life no matter how small and see what are the things i could do to make myself feel better about it...

    and i would convince my husband if he sleeps with anyone sooner then a yrs after im gone i would curse him from the heavens :D

    id find a bf, lose my virginity, quit school, use all of my enheritance and waste it on a whole bunch of extreme sports, then id go on a road trip through south america. Have you seen Y tu mama tambien...? Well, if i was going to die, id probably do a version of that mixed with Motorcycle Diaries. One part Sex mixed with two parts Discovery and Excitement and half a cup of beautiful beaches. My favorite recipe.

    Very fortunate that somebody told to learn to live as if today is the last day. So over a period of time, this preparation has been fairly good.

    i would not take the chemo but try to have a positive attitude and be with my family everyday.

    first, (ialready have this but if i didnt) get assurance of a positive afterlife second, spend what time i have left with my loved ones. every weekend there would be a huge get together (for local loved ones) and the ones that could come to me, i would go to them.

    I would go try to everything that I ever wanted to do in my life like that lady in Last Holiday
