Is someone who has will to live but bad or progressive condition likely to keep up appearances or let things slide?

Progressive conditio: The ansswer is as variable as people. Some patients live life to the fullest knowing they have a limited time and are happy. Some worry but put a smile. Others let things slilde, as you say, it depends but all should have at least a brief consult with a counselor who deals with these issues.
