Twelve Months by Steven Manchester

What would you do if you suddenly learned you had 12 months to live? This is the premise of this book. Given a terminal diagnosis you have two choices suffer through treatments that will probably be worse than the disease itself with little change in the eventual outcome or live life to the fullest in the time remaining to you. Wallow in grief and anger, or fill your days with the things you’d like to do while you still can.

This cannot escape being a disease of the week novel and the author is at times a bit graphic about the grittier aspects. The style can be somewhat saccharine and too preachy for some but it does manage to rise above being a tear jerker. More than a third of the E-book version is given over to previews of other books.
