I would get to a psychologist and psychiatrist as soon as possible!
In AA they have a saying "half measures avail us nothing". Most of us here have been willing "to go to any lengths" (another AA saying) to have the best possible outcome in a disease that doesn't exactly have the best survival rate.
I think Bob stated it very well. But even after going to "any lengths", I did my estate planning, living trust and filled out my "Advance Health Care Directive".
