A vital bit of detail to this scenario..... Are you allowed to let others know about your impending doom? Or do we all go into "Sam Becket" mode and try to right all that is wrong?
I would pray and make sure my heart was right with God,and make sure I was at peace with those around me if I had hurt anyone I would want to make it right.

I have been confronted with my potential soon death for five years now. I am in ill health. In these five years, I have had 12 surgeries and need at least three more major ones. Three or four of these surgeries had me in ICU afterward; one of these surgeries had them working on me for five hours afterward trying to keep me alive.
For these five years, I have not been able to get my house in order because of physical limitations. I need to do that because my wife cannot drive and will be living on her $300 month Social Security Disability income once I sprout wings. (We are presently living on my disability income and pension. She will not have access to these once I am gone as she is only in her late forties - too young for eligibility.)
My goal for this next year is to get my house in order so my wife will not be struggling to deal with external things that will be next to impossible for her to deal with once I am gone.
My relationship with Jesus is strong. I minister almost daily, so am busy in the harvest fields as best I can. My relationship with my wife is very strong. I am more than ready to go - except for preparing our circumstances for my wife once I leave.
Now, I might live for another forty years. I might outlive my wife. My Jesus is the Great Physician and my faith is in Him. My trust is in Jesus in every aspect. I am not discouraged, nor seeking attention/sympathy. I am just trying to be a wise steward of what He has given me (my wife and our "house" that needs to be put in order). I am ready in all other aspects, and cannot think of a thing that I would change if I knew I was to sprout wings tomorrow, or in one year. I look forward to this life being over.
It is interesting how the very real knowledge of potential death can help someone put things into perspective and priorities. I've rather enjoyed that perspective and priority setting.

Mike, you will not be forgotten in my prayers. May God grant you strength and courage.

I've been in that situation. I've had six Doctors tell me I was going to die.
On June 21 2007, my Doctor told me I could not live more than four months.
What changes did I make upon hearing my Doctor pronounce me soon-to-be dead?
I began to think on Scripture and how Jesus bore away my sins and my sickness on the cross. I did this for every waking moment day and night for quite sometime. I put aside TV, Internet, most all nonessential activities in my life. My made my main focus the truth of God's Word about healing.
Three days later I was out of the hospital, and soon I was back at work.
It's been about a year and six months now and I'm still on top of the turf.
