If you were diagnosed with a disease in which you had a 2% chance of living past 4 years, would you...

Diagnoses like these are usually pessimistic, so I certainly wouldn't do anything crazy and count on not being around for the consequences.
If I were faced with the possibility of a likely expected death, I would want to invest time and energy in the relationships in my life. I'd try to make amends and ask forgiveness from people I have hurt. I'd pray for strength to forgive those who hurt me and let them know I forgive them. I'd write/call/email/visit all those people I've been meaning to write/call/email/visit. I'd try to do things that would help people and make them happy, because that's the surest way to be happy & contented myself. I'd keep working unless I hated my job. I'd finish school--I like school and it's good to finish things.
Wow, this is really getting to be a syrupy trite answer. Sorry!
It reminds me of a country song called "Live Like You Were Dying."
I hate country music.

M$Enjoy your life no one has a guarantee even a healthy person can have an Accident and loose there life by no fault of there own. I think that it really depends on the disease and the persons circumstances . A person has to make the decision based on those circumstances.

LOL, maybe you and I were wrong, maybe it PREVENTS disease???
I try not to be narrow-minded and can acknowledge the quality in selected country songs, but, overall, blech!
If large quantities of country music were proven to lower one's chances of acquiring disease, I might just take my chances and avoid it anyway. Like smokers (also blech!) who know it's not good for them but do it anyway.
P.S. I don't know what your spiritual background is, but I prayed anyway for you and your people before I sent this--for wisdom & clarity in decisions, for strength to withstand the stress, and of course for healing & a good medical team.
If you're someone who would appreciate more prayers, feel free to direct question me and I'd be happy to hit my knees for you and yours.
Blessings!
If it were me, I would marry, payoff my debts, and talk with those whom I offended.
