Oh, what a dillemma indeed.
Now, will the drugs ease the pain? That is a big factor as to whether or not I'll take medication or not.

Actually, knowing me, I'd probably beg my family for a mercy kill. Three months... it would just tease me.
But if that weren't applicable.... I don't know if i'd take the medical treatment available, it really depends.
Then I would probably arrange a will (really all I have that's worth anything is my computer and the money in my bank account) and work as hard as I could on the collaborate novel my friend and I were working on to try and get it ready to publish. I wouldn't have time to be running around the globe trying new and dangerous things, because, well, it's something I committed to do.
I'd probably drop out of school, too. And when I wasn't writing or discussing the story with my friend... I'd be eating out at quite a few restaurants I'd never gotten to try.
I'd send a letter, an email, and a private message on some of the sights he goes to, to an online friend of mine who has been avoiding me, and tell him the news. I don't know if he'd respond. He might think it was a sick joke - although I've never pulled something like that before. Heck, I might get a photocopy of some official piece of evidence of the fact I was dying. All I'd want is to speak to him once more - he really made a difference in my life, whether he realizes it or not.
I'd contact all of the teachers that I could who had put in extra effort to help me, and thank them.
I know I probably would not stop the feud between myself and another fellow, and maybe, just maybe, finally express, unshielded, my negative thoughts about him. Maybe pick a fight, although, being the sick and dying one, I'd lose. I wouldn't tell him. I'd leave it up to my best friend to tell him.
I'd also finish those emoticons and tell the person paying me that there was no need to pay me - as I'd be dying soon anyway.
I'd finally find a place, and pay the big bucks, to try shark. I've always wanted to try eating shark. And snake.
I'd try to get a hold of sister Tate's address and send her a letter - the one I never sent her, and apologize that I never DID give her that phone call and go putting, or tappins, or whatever it was called, with her.
Okay that's all I can think of. =)

I would be devastated, but there are things I would like to do before death.
I certainly would make sure I was on the right side with God.
Than I would write a letter to any foundation that would help the terminally ill. Like the Make A Wish Foundation, for instance. If they were willing to comply, I'd ask that they'd set up some type of account that would hold a nice amount of money for my family if any emergencies arose. (Like foreclosure, lack of food, or someone else with an illness.)
Then I would sign up with some type of organization like Big Sisters and Brothers or something, and help be a 'big sister' for kids who don't have parents, or just plain need help.
With the help of these children and anyone else who would like to volunteer, I would use my 'artistic skills' to paint murals with positive messages throughout my town. I'd make an effort to clean up the little and graffitti, and kid's playgrounds in my district, and I'd sign up as a temporary peer mentor at schools so that if anyone needed to, they could get things off their chest.
Afterwards, I would write a short story detailing how one's life could change for the better on a whim, even if that whim was something terrible, like my terminal illness.
I'd publish that, and my poetry, or at least try too.
I assume my three months are almost up by now, so I'd then divy off some of my more sentimental items, including my five-hundred pieces of the artistic nature to my friends and family. (Family getting first dibs.)
I'd leave a will stating that if my poetry and short story made good sales, that the royalties from them would be divided amongst my family, a couple of good friends, and charities.
Then I'd finally write a letter to each person close to me in my life telling them how much I love them.
Then I'd say goodbye.

hmm... three months..
first thing first... drop out of uni..
I'm not gonna go for medical treatment that won't do me anything.
Pain is part of it all. Dying isn't so bad compare to three months of that.
Then, I'd fly to Philippines and visit all my relatives. The one's I like anyway.
I'll stay on one my mom's house. I'd plant anything I can while I'm there. I think a month of indulgence in something close to a paradise is enough.
Then go wherever Mr.Tooshie is... can't have him running around with me for three months.. that would cost him after I'm gone.
We'd go to The Mango Tree and finally have dinner in there.
I'll arrange all my belongings then write a will. Mostly, I think my comics will go to E. My computer will probably go to my D.. All my clothes will go to my cousins. My cds to be divided between Mr. Tooshie, E and D.
All my art paraphernalia will go to my little niece... she loves drawing - specially with something as colourful as my pens.
All my books will be given to Mr. Tooshie.... it's up to him if he wants to give any to E or to D...
then... for the last month... I'd go back to Philippines and visit all those places I haven't been to yet... my own country and I know it less than some american tourist who's been there too often.
And then I'd die... preferably while on a boat in the middle of the day.. while out fishing... or trying to at least.

I wouldn't take the treatment and do the following:
1.) Claim my revenge on everyone, sending them on a massive guilt trip.
2.) Finish everything I've started, providing I remeber what it is and I can find it.
3.) Spend lots of time with my family and friends.
4.) Spend the first day sulking. Then get over it. Well I have to sulk sometime! rolleyes
5.) Watch every single Walt Disney Animated film ever.
6.) Eat as many yummy as I like, without worrying about getting too fat.
7.) Declare my hatred for the world because of the way their destroying it.
8.) Take the mick out of as many people as possible.
9.) Inform the people who I hate, that I hate them... if their not already aware.
neutral Hopefully though I'll never have to refer back to this list.

considering on how much your list consist of venting 'impolite' passionate feelings...
I say go for it, whether or not your dying!
I mean, why should you tolerate the presence of those you really can't stand?!
Let them know how you feel, hopefully they'll go away.

Well, first of all, I'd go with any medical treatment I could get. Doctors make errors and there are always miracles. Just because the doctor says that it will kill me in three months doesn't mean that's what God has planned. And if it is, I would be completely at peace with that. I know plenty of people who's doctors said "You only have [insert months/weeks/days] to live" and they did not die.
Anywho, but if it was true, I'd spend my three months doing all that I could. I'd go see the world and travel as much as I can. That's month one. Half of month two, I'd do as much crazy crap that I could, like bungee jumping or mountain climbing. The last half of month two I'd spend just annoying the hell out of EVERYONE with all of my unconventional opinions, writing speeches to say to any audience I can find. And in that month, I'd try to publish a book. Month three, I'd just spend it with family and friends, just showing them how much I love them and letting them know that throughout my life, they left such an impact, each and every one of them. Then on the die I was to die, I'd want my boyfriend holding me until I died with my family and friends around me. And throughout all of those months, I'd be trying to get closer to God.
There ya go 3nodding . That's what I'd do.

I'd enjoy the time I had left in the world trying to accomplish all the things I wanted to do, but never had much inspiration to start right away. I would also spend my days in travel with my best friend and my cousin. Then on my death bed I would want to die seeing my cousin's face and smile one last time to take with me as a gift to the afterlife.

I would refuse to take the treatment.
1.) I would finish my book and get it published.
2.) I would tell the I have a crush on just how much I loved her and how I wish her only the happiness until the end of her days.
3.) I would get revenge on all of those who have ever doubted me or have done me wrong.
4.) I would go to a Rammstein concert.
5.) I would steal a Bugatti Vyron.
6.) I would destroy the neighbors cat, lol.
7.) I would go to germany on a one week vacation.
8.) I would kick the bucket.

Ironic that my friend just told me that she had six months left..
If it were me, I would refuse to take any drugs or treatment for it. What's the use? I would do everything I'd ever wanted to do, aka. Fly to England. Tell my crush that I love them, but that I'm going to die, then just be here on the computer with my friends until I keel over.

I'd spend the entire three months writing. As much as I love my other art, it's the writing that's my true calling. I wouldn't take any traditional treatment--I'd use herbs and meditation to keep myself as balanced as possible. I'd accept the fact that I was dying quite easily, but the pain wouldn't be as easy to bear.

First thing I would do is make sure that my family and friends know all the details of what is happening and will happen to me...then I would sell everything of value to me and go up to Boston...and spend my remaining time writting and living in the city I love...

I'd travel around the world, read every book I want (that's out), hang out with all my friends, tell everyone I don't like exactly what I think of them, and tell someone the passwords to my things.
