"I know in the best case (my time) is about a year, and in the worst case even less than that. Or in the best case, I think it's even longer. I don't think the doctors I meet can be completely sure," Eriksson added.

Eriksson was diagnosed with terminal cancer after he collapsed after running five kilometers the day before. In fact, he has no complaints whatsoever. The doctor also said he had a stroke.

Launching Medical News Today, terminal cancer, which is sometimes called end-stage cancer, is a type of cancer that cannot be treated or cured by a doctor. Simply put, terminal cancer has not responded to any treatment and doctors have also not been able to slow down their progress. Treatment cannot extend the lifespan of terminal cancer sufferers significantly.

Doctors may not expect someone with terminal cancer to live beyond a certain period of time. The purpose of treatment can turn from treating cancer to reducing the severity of symptoms," wrote Medical News Today.

Any type of cancer can be terminal cancer, and in the case of Eriksson, he suffers from pancreatic cancer. For some people, end-stage and terminal cancer are the same, when in reality the term means different. Like terminal cancer, end-stage cancer can also not be treated.

"But this (final stage cancer) responds to treatment, which can slow down its progress. While terminal cancer does not respond at all to treatment. As a result, treating terminal cancer sufferers only focuses on making someone as comfortable as possible," he quoted Livethline as saying.

Although Eriksson admits that the remaining time is only a year, basically the length of time a person can survive with terminal cancer can vary. Doctors will consider various factors before estimating a person's life expectancy.

As has been explained, terminal cancer will not respond to any treatment. However, according to research, there are a number of cases where a person has survived terminal cancer longer than doctors estimate.

"But in most cases, diagnosis of end-stage cancer means a person will not survive," wrote Medical News Today.

Receiving bad news about terminal cancer must have caused a variety of reactions, even in a short time. At first someone may feel angry or sad, but then it can turn into a bit of relief. Some may worry because they have to leave loved ones, others may feel completely numb. The various emotions you feel when you know that terminal cancer is normal.

"It's better not to think about it. You have to trick your brain. I could think about this all the time and sit at home and feel miserable and think I'm unlucky and so on," said Eriksson after the doctor sentenced him to terminal cancer.

"It's easy to end up in that position. But no, look at the positive side and don't bury yourself in a setback, because this is the biggest setback of all," added the man who brought Lazio to the second Scudetto in 2000.

Experts agree that giving yourself time to accept feelings is something that needs to be done after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. In addition, they also encourage people with terminal cancer not to hesitate to seek support from friends and family.

After the news of Eriksson's illness spread in the media, a flood of support was given to the Swedish man, one of whom was Wayne Rooney who called Eriksson a special person. The former Manchester United striker appeared prominent at the 2004 European Cup after he made his international debut by Eriksson in the previous year.

"It's sad news this morning. The thoughts are on course Eriksson and his family. A brilliant coach and a special person. Loved and respected by everyone. We are all with you though, keep fighting," Rooney wrote on the X account.

It's true, there is no right way to respond to terminal cancer diagnosis from doctors. The strain of confusion, anger, fear, fatigue may approach. And that's all natural. Some people may mourn because they can't fulfill their life plans, some are anxious about having to leave loved ones behind or lose a habit they could have had for years.

On the one hand, sitting alone and focusing on yourself may be considered the best way to get through sad news. But on the other hand, there's nothing wrong if it might feel better if they contact friends or loved ones.
