Thoughts are with you Les. I would say though that a prognosis is based on averages, everyone is different, definitely don't think of it as a sand timer. Whilst ever Mrs Les has got fight in her then put the prognosis in the BIN file. I think she has done right in not wanting to know.
My advice based on recent experience is; get anything, if it hasn't already, post death discussed which needs to be. Not on the basis that it's going to happen but as we might when making a will etc. Just spend a couple of hours on it then it's done and dusted, not to be talked about again.
Mrs Clangers never wanted to as she thought it was admitting defeat but my thought is unburdening oneself of worrying thoughts must surely be better than harbouring them whilst having the fight of your life and stress is not great when battling cancer.
We should all have that conversation with our partners, family regardless as to whether we've had bad news as none of us know when our number is up. God bless to Mrs Les, you and your family. x
