He continued; “But on an emotional level, I was certain I was never going to die. I denied it. To me, it was to make out my will, then have a nice piece of strudel. Death didn’t apply to me.
“My initial reactions to the diagnosis were, I suppose, quite common: denial, fear, anger as well as a dose of being insulted. I am in my eighties; I have lived a long life, but I certainly wasn’t ready for it to end.
“On an intellectual level, I understood my prognosis; I had made out my will, which said that when I died this person got this, that person got that”.
