Six Months to Live

I wouldnt trade my life for anyone elses. If I could choose not to have cancer, and continue my life as it was, I wouldnt do it. Matt Gauger. Youre twenty-two, in love, and just starting a career. The last thing youre worried about is the purpose of life (whatever that means) and when youre going to die. If you think about such things, you certainly dont talk about them. With his sociable personality and love of music and basketball, Matt had plenty of friends but didnt really stand out from the crowd. Then, a month before his wedding, he was diagnosed with cancer. Six months later he was dead. But Six Months to Live isnt really about dying. Its the story of how Matt and his family and friends struggled to accept his suffering, and how it changed each of them. Its about facing (rather than avoiding) lifes most important questions, and instead of going through the motions living life to the full.
