I'd probably make sure my friends and family were prepared over the first month, and after that point, depending on the progress (are your chances of resurrection better if it happens while you're alive?) sign up for cryostasis. Preferably offing myself before the cancer progresses too far to maximize my chances; assuming that would not affect my chances, I'd probably live as I'm used to. I don't enjoy excitement, and though it would be sad to die so soon, I think I would be happier with my quiet life as it is.

I realize I'm kind of dodging the hypothetical here, but that's legitimately what I would do. I don't have big, overarching goals in my life beyond to live simply and long. Given the latter's out of the question at this point in time, I may as well maximize the chances of such in the future.
