What Would you Do?

In September of 2002 I was told that I had cancer. It was Thyroid cancer, what they didn't know yet was what type of Thyroid Cancer it was. Either I was going to have a surgery and some radiation therapy and slowly work towards getting better. Or I was going to die before Christmas. I was only 20. The results of the tests that determined what type of cancer it was would take 5 days. What would you have done if for 5 days you thought you were going to die in 12 weeks?
