And then....
John Brandrick, from Newquay, Cornwall, was told he had pancreatic cancer two years ago after scans revealed a 7cm tumour.
The 62-year-old said he was told by doctors at the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Treliske that he only had a short time left to live.
So he quit his job and stopped paying his mortgage, instead splashing out on a lavish lifestyle of hotels, restaurants and holidays.
Then the hospital told him that he was actually suffering from non-fatal pancreatitis.
Mr Brandrick said that in the year he thought he was dying he spent everything and now he faces losing his house.
