Agreed. I mean don't get me wrong if someone is dying and they want to tell the world then that's up to them and who the hell am I to judge but like the situation with Bowie I have the greatest respect for dignity. God forbid it never happens I personally wouldn't tell anyone except my family if I were to find myself in that situation. Same mate. I'd rather people remember me at my best and try to keep that show on the road until I simply couldn't. Though like you say, whatever a persons approach it's a nightmare situation, especially if you're no age at the time.

A cancer doctor said that one reason patients don't tell is that from then on every conversation with friends and loved ones is about cancer. I kinda get that, not sure I would want to spend my limited time left dwelling on that so I understand why someone would keep it quiet for as long as they can. On the other hand A neighbour who I hadn't seen for 3 months matter of factly mentioned they were terminal and died a month later. He was very stoic and I admired his fortitude I am not sure I would be so brave. Such a personal choice.
One more point |

If you find out someone has cancer, especially if terminal the news can't help but colour how you interact with them. There's something to be said for having a few weeks or months of just appreciating friends and family and of having a modicum of normality that's in contrast to what you're facing. Your neighbour sounds like a brave man who accepted what was coming. Like you, I'm not quite sure that I'd have been able to accept what was coming to that extent. Everyone is different though of course.

It turns out it was lung cancer. Indications are that he was a heavy smoker. There are posts online going back three years saying that his voice sounded 'different' and in a couple of interviews he almost entirely lost his voice. Apparently these were signs, so it's a touch sad whether he knew at the time and didn't want to say, or not.

A mate jogged my mind about 15 Storeys High the other day. It stars Sean Lock and is well worth a watch. It's pretty cheap on Amazon at the minute [Link] Edited by BlueJay (30 Aug 2021 1.16am)
