In the early days of medicine, when most diseases were untreatable, what patients wanted to know was how long they had left. 

People believed the best doctors weren't the ones who could help you buy more time, but the ones who made the most accurate prognosis. 

Now that we have more tricks up our sleeves, we're less interested in calculating the odds and more concerned with beating them. 

But just because we don't spend as much time predicting the end, doesn't mean it's not coming.

 If you only had ten months to live, what would you do? 

Would you hold your people close? 

Or would you let them go? 

Throw caution to the wind? 

Or turn back to the safest, most comforting place? 

Because it might be the end of the road. 

Or it could be just the beginning.
