A long time ago I knew a young woman who was facing breast cancer, I don't remember what stage it was, but she said doctors told her she might only have a year to live, even with aggressive treatment. She had accepted her fate and was just trying to live her live as well as she could. A few months after I met her, she was killed in a drunk driving accident. On the other hand, I also met someone who had a brain tumor when she was in her 20's, her life expectancy was unknown, her long-term boyfriend at the time left her because he couldn't deal with it. When I met her she was in her mid-40's, happily married with kids - she had successful surgery to remove the tumor. Everyone has a limited lifetime and you don't always know how short it will be.
