Hi,
Your doctor is obliged to provide you with as much information regarding your illness as possible however I agree with other users that he provided his opinion a little bluntly.
The only thing I would really like to add is that this is just one doctor's opinion! Always seek a second opinion and keep in mind that there are many living "miracles" out there. My dad was diagnosed with leukemia many years ago and the initial assessment was that he had only 12 months at most to live. Doctor after doctor advised that he would be lucky to make Christmas. He has now been living with the disease for well over 8 years! Keep positive :)
