What can i do about a long terminal diagnosis? how can i cope?

Coping: I am sorry to hear you are suffering and have a long term diagnosis.. You should seek out a counselor you feel comfortable with, and ask at hospitals and clinics if there are support groups with members going through same illness. Having good friends to lean on also helps and not isolating yourself - staying busy to the extent you can in social settings. Good luck.
