Another person who wrote about this stuff, was Richard Feynman. His first wife, Arlene, had non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. He has a fairly long section of "Surely you are joking Mr. Feynman" on this. He talks about what they went through, the antics, and so forth. And he talks about the whole end of life process, as her cancer wasn't one that many people survived in the 1940's. His world view of making every second count, and not sweating the little things was fantastic. Just make every moment count with them, regardless of the prognosis.
