Cure it with Movies/Books: Terminal illness/Cancer

I bet most of you are super excited about the brand new trailer of "Me before You", based on the same name novel by Jojo Moyes. For those who have no clue of what I'm talking about, the story is about Louisa Clark and  Will Traynor, two people who couldn't be more different but, due to Will's conditions (he's tetraplegic) get to know each other. Here's the trailer: 

Now...I've read and loved the book, so I wanted to keep "torturing" myself to a crying point by reading and watching books and movies about this topic (terminal/uncurable diseases). There's no right or wrong way to deal with it: some accept it and some don't, but the list here shows that illnesses don't affect only the sick person, but everyone around him.
