I can’t speak for the majority, but I have acquaintances who were fine, then went to check-up, found out they had cancer or some other terminal illness, and pass away shortly after.

Is it a psychological thing?

In theory, would they have lived longer if they did not know? 

Looking to get educated, not to spread misinformation. Thanks!
