Good morning, All.
As an update to my post from December...
In January of this year, I was told that my cancer is stage 4. Chemo is now as a palliative measure and not of curative intent. Without chemo, they are saying I would have ~6 months to live. With chemo, 18 months, on the outside.
I have actually come to peace with this, however my family, wife and parents, have not. They keep telling me to be positive and things will get better. I'm not negative about it, but I am being what I believe is practical. I have since gotten my will and other legal instruments in order. How have any of you dealt with family members who are not willing to accept the prognosis? It's kind of tough on me as they don't want to discuss the future and what time I have left. I wanted to take a life long dream vacation to Europe, but my wife is concerned that we will be spending money that could affect her ability to survive financially IF I do die... I haven't pushed the idea any further, but at the same time, it is the ONE thing that is on my "bucket list"... Am I being selfish in wanting to do this?
