Terminal diagnosis.

Yesterday I discovered my diagnosis is terminal, e.g. already spread to liver and lung.  I'm going to have a stoma I think, to ease bowel symptoms.  12 to 24 months if my response to chemo is "average".  

I ended up writing a long list of "things to do".  Actual practical things, not a bucket list, e.g. sort out will etc.  It's kind of funny but I will need to mostly do things for other people, as they need reassurance and their anxieties calmed, whereas I really don't.

Anybody else in this boat?  I expect 500 people were given such a diagnosis yesterday, so I'm not alone!
