Damn, man 6-10 weeks is not long! me must be quite sick.
I think the hardest thing would be getting over the shock knowing you didn't have long left, before you even get a chance to work out what your going to do.
So:
Asumming I remain resonable capable up the last few days then I would use the sympathy play as much as I could.

Apply for as many CC as I could and max them out on anything.
Tell a few BS stories and drive Ferraries etc. Ask guys at the car club If I could have a drive in thier Lotus's and assorted race cars.
Use the sympathy play more.

NOT WORK A DAY!
maybe write some really mad scribled notes on philosophical theories.
do lots of flying, and travel as much as I could with mates.
use the sympathy play.
If im really sick, well then try and do as much as I can, but make sure im with friends. At the least go flying and have one last fast drive down the coast road.
We all have to die one day, its an anavoidable fact. We all have to face up to it at some point. But I would personaly rather not know when it was going to happen.
