Just 5 years to live

whoop ....... back up .......... back up a little. you did't need to go all the way with that post.

I can only comment on the red bolded part in your post, the rest is just foggy emotional thrust.

Now plz tell me why would this person believe in what this doctor has to say. A doctor can only tell you what s/he thinks is true based on their experience or what they have been taught from all those "stupid" researches/studies. I am not gonna give up on life just because a doctor told me that's it.

There is so much to this topic but let me tell you this. If you really believe that you have only so many days/weeks/months/years to live, then that's all you really have, not one day more. you are talking about heart condition here, but there are people with spread-out cancers and other diseases who are living examples of "happiness" and those same doctors who told them to say good bye to all family members ages ago, have no words for these patients' persistence.

In this case, yes one needs to take precautions and positive outlook and discuss it all with their partner but that doctors assessment should't be the primary concern.
