I would prefer to know. Why should I continue to go to school and preform other tasks I despise if no good will come from it in the end. Also, I think my parents have no right to hide something like this from me, but I wouldn't have a fit at them if they did hide it but I found out anyway. I would try not sink into serious depression, some words of wisdom (not my own) "If you knew that your leg was going to be cut off tomorrow, would you sit around and mope about it or would you go and preform some awesome air kicks?"
The point is, if you know you will die, and there's nothing you can do about it, then there is no point in crying about it, because no amount of crying will cure cancer. Sure, if I did get cancer then I'd probably be eating my words and probably would cry about it, but I don't have cancer, so I can speculate about how I would react, even if that isn't what would really happen.
I'd probably become a real jerk and do a whole lot of crazy stuff. Meh. But I would look at it this way, if I'm going to die, then I won't be around to regret the stuff I've done!
