There is no right way to live with or die from a life-threatening illness. Every disease has its own set of problems and challenges, and each person copes with these problems and challenges in his or her own way. For some people, gathering information from many sources about the disease and its treatment is crucial. The resources from the NLM and the National Institutes of Health cover a wide range of topics.
