I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas.

The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable,
医生告诉我那很可能是一种无法治愈的癌症,
and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months.

My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order,
