if you want some help on what it means, come on back here and ask questions. Dr. Google is notoriously unreliable.

How does a doctor just tell someone they have been handed a "death sentence?" I don't know if I should go to work or stay at home and take an anti-anxiety pill on THursday. Do most of you out there anticipate this and plan it out or just go about your daily routine? This is absolutely the most critical phone conversation I have ever had to anticipate. Can someone please lend me some advice?
