Few high school students need to make a life or death decision about their health.

For Jacob Monday, a sophomore at Shenendehowa High School, he chose to discontinue his cancer treatment when he found out it had spread to his lungs.

For the past 17 months, Jacob has been undergoing treatment for a rare form of bone cancer called osteosarcoma. He had surgery to replace part of his knee and femur, and he also endured brutal rounds chemotherapy.

The treatments seemed to be working until a checkup in January found the cancer had spread to his lungs. Jacob and his family were told that the cancer had moved into his cells and will come back, according to the Times Union.

Jacob decided to pass on the latest treatment because he didn't want to spend his time feeling sick. He would rather make the most of his time left spending it with family and friends. So, Jacob and his mom Barbara Williams made a bucket list of things he wanted to accomplish before he passes.

Items on the list include meeting someone famous like Chris Pratt or Jeff Dunham, skydiving indoors, swimming with sea turtles, and visiting his brother Shane in Michigan.

Jacob's teachers and classmates at Shen are raising money to help his wishes come true. They've launched a GoFundMe page that has raised $18,529 of a $15,000 goal as of Tuesday morning. They have also held fundraisers in school and have launched a Twitter campaign #ShenForMonday.

The Make a Wish Foundation is also planning a trip for Jacob to Orlando in May. In return, students at Jacob's school will be raising money for that organization, selling stars in the schools.

According to WNYT, Jacob's mother says without chemo, he has about one to two years to live.
