I can't imagine how awful that feels sensitivity does not seem to be your local authority's strong point. I don't think though they have decided you are going to die, hopefully they are just being practical and surmising this is going to be a long job. My husband was diagnosed in July and basically told that even if things go well to forget work for the next year (different diagnosis though involving major surgery) Try and concentrate on getting well and do not worry about people who don't know your situation making assumptions about your future.

good luck
