A character knows Their Days Are Numbered and tries to keep it under wraps. If they're diagnosed with The Virus, a Soap Opera Disease, or an Incurable Cough of Death, Herr Doktor may be begged to keep silent about it. If they're harboring a Secret Stab Wound, they may wear extra shirts and haphazard bandages to avoid a Mortal Wound Reveal.
Why? Perhaps they don't want their friends handling them with kid gloves or passing the Despair Event Horizon, or they want to spend their last days seeing their sweetheart smiling rather than grief-stricken. They may simply want to Face Death with Dignity. Alternatively, they might want to keep their enemies from getting a morale boost out of it. This can also be a selfish act if their condition represents a danger to others, such as with The Plague or a Zombie Infectee.
Sometimes, though, even the character themself don't realize this fact, leaving only the audience and a select few to know the truth of the matter. Whether said character is told later on, or ends up suddenly dropping dead without realizing depends.
This may lead to Dying Alone if taken to its logical extreme. It also can invoke Fridge Logic of the Stupid Sacrifice variety if medical treatment could have saved or at least prolonged the victim's life. Naturally, this is revealed to another character with You See, I'm Dying.
This is a Death Trope, and usually a major Plot Twist. The examples section is a minefield of unmarked spoilers.
For the Lighter and Softer temporary variant, see Feigning Healthiness. Contrast with Mistaken for Dying, in which the subject is much healthier than people think.
As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

Hanbe from Sengoku Basara hides his tuberculosis from Hideyoshi and Mitsunari, who know he's ill, just not that it's terminal. If they were aware they'd probably either lose hope and abandon the conquest of Japan or force him to stop being The Strategist.

In one episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, the unit questions recurring character Tucker about a case he was involved in; he claims not to remember anything about it, but Benson is sure he's hiding something. He eventually admits the truth: he really doesn't remember the case. But it's not, as he claimed, because it's just one of hundreds of cases he worked - it's because he has brain cancer and is losing his memory.

Kishou Arima from Tokyo Ghoul is eventually revealed to be dying, as a result of being Blessed with Suck. The same hybrid nature that granted him superhuman physical abilities caused him to age at an accelerated rate. While externally he looked young, internally he was already dying from old age and suffering from Glaucoma. Rather than wait to simply break down further, he chooses to commit suicide.

In Shigofumi there was the story of an older man watching over a little girl named Fumika (the same as the protagonist). The older man treated the girl nicely but did not tell her that he was dying from a condition. He ultimately dies by pushing Fumika out of the way of a bus, though he gets hit and dies.

Fire Emblem:
Arran takes over for Jagen as the Crutch Character in Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem and its remake, New Mystery of the Emblem. His stats and poor growths are explained as that he is really sick, and he reveals in the ending that his illness is fatal, but he wants to go down fighting with Marth to atone for his past, where he helped slay rebellious peasants under orders of his cruel former lord. The epilogue even says he died shortly after the war.
It is revealed late on in Fire Emblem Engage that Alfred, the Crown Prince of Firene had been ill since he was a child, and despite his efforts to combat it his condition flares up and he's left weakly begging his sister to keep his condition a secret. His unpaired epilogue states that he eventually succumbed to his disease.

Yuna's friends notice she's becoming more withdrawn and her happiness isn't authentic, but she's unable to tell them what's wrong (as in, she literally can't or else the curse'll spread). However, Yuna eventually recovers and the show ends on an optimistic note.

Naruto
Itachi had a fatal illness that he barely controlled via medication, and likely would have won his final battle if he hadn't succumbed to it mid-fight. Later, we find out Itachi wasn't aiming to kill Sasuke anyway.
Kimimaro attempted this trope, refusing to reveal his growing illness for fear that he would lose value in Orochimaru's eyes. Kabuto and Orochimaru saw through this and he ended up bedridden before the invasion of Konoha. During his fight against Rock Lee and Gaara in the Sasuke Retrieval Arc, he ends up succumbing to his illness right as he is about to kill them.

In the anime of Trigun, when Wolfwood is mortally wounded in his battle with Chapel, he speaks briefly to Vash, then heads to an abandoned church to confess his sins. Vash is too busy angsting about his own duel with Caine the Longshot (who ended it via suicide) to notice the trail of blood droplets in his wake. Wolfwood dies as he's praying. In the manga, things are played differently. The kids of Wolfwood's Orphanage of Love have been sent away to safety, and both he and Vash watch them leave. Then they share One Last Smoke... and Wolfwood dies as they're talking to each other.

In the Jiyel origin subplot in Seven Kingdoms: The Princess Problem, you are. The threatening letter you received - intended for your cousin, the original delegate - turns out to have been coated with a rare and highly lethal poison. While there is no known cure, it's very slow-acting, giving you at least a few weeks of time to look for a solution.

Roy Fokker's death in Super Dimension Fortress Macross (and by extension, Robotech). After coming back from a mission where his fighter got shot up, he spends a quiet night at his girlfriend's place strumming his guitar... then keels over, revealing bloody wounds in his back. YMMV as to whether it was a Stupid Sacrifice or not; since the injuries weren't severe enough to debilitate him, he might have lived if he'd gotten immediate treatment, but on the other hand, Roy might have sensed that he was about to die and that no immediate treatment would've been enough. In the latter case, he simply decided to not die alone, going to Claudia's place intending to see her one last time before kicking it. Considering that Roy pulled lots of risky stuff throughout the course of the series, it's not that implausible.

Minecraft: Story Mode: Whoever you saved from the Wither Storm has been infected by it. They don't want to tell the rest of the group because they're worried it'll slow down the quest, but most of the party has already figured out that something's up.

Y'sthola during the Heavensward expansion in Final Fantasy XIV is rescued from The Lifestream at the cost of her eyesight. To compensate, she uses her own aether to see while fully knowing that doing so will eventually kill her. Nobody except her mentor knows about it.

Senegos, an extremely old Blue Dragon who acts as a quest giver in World of Warcraft's Legion and Dragonflight expansions, is revealed to be this in his reappearance during the latter. Dragons live for a long time, but even by their standards Senegos is absolutely ancient and should've been dead from simple old age a long time ago. He's kept himself alive so long through various magical artifacts solely to fulfill The Promise to see his Dragonflight finally reunited and whole. At the conclusion of the Blue Dragonflight questline, he finally gets his wish and peacefully passes away surrounded by his kin.

In the 55th Madgie, what did you do? story, Broken Wings, we have a variation with Doki in that, while she was terminally ill and suffering renal failure, she wasn't entirely honest with exactly how much time she had left, as she said she had a few months to a year, whereas, in reality, she actually had a couple of weeks.

Persona 3:
Shinjiro Aragaki is slowly killing himself with power-inhibiting drugs. He refrains from mentioning his poor health to anyone, mostly because he's expecting one of two other things to kill him before the side effects of the drugs manage to do it, and because he thinks he deserves it. Even when it comes out that he was taking the suppressants, he waves off any concerns about the side effects and only comes close to hinting at how little time he has to the female protagonist in the last few stages of his Social Link.
The Protagonist goes through this in the good ending. After performing a Heroic Sacrifice, s/he is just living to meet up with everyone on graduation day, as they promised. However, everyone in SEES has forgotten about what they've accomplished, even if they haven't forgotten about the protagonist. Only one person remembers ( Aigis) and she makes sure that he or she won't die alone. Unless this is Portable with a New Game Plus, then the preferred Love Interest can spend the Protagonist's last few seconds with him/her.

Kaori from Your Lie in April had suffered from a disease her entire life and it was getting worse with age. At age fourteen she could tell she didn't have much time left anymore. So she aimed to be the Manic Pixie Dream Girl of the boy who inspired her to become a musician. She dies a little under a year after meeting Kousei due to complications in a surgery meant to make her live longer. While at the hospital she tried to downplay her illness as stress-related, even to the point where she didn't want her friends to see her using an IV, but as the anime goes on it becomes obvious it's more serious than she's letting on.

Lady Browne on Call the Midwife is an interesting case. She wasn't technically diagnosed yet, but since she must have been in a great deal of pain from her metastasized cancer, she must have known something was wrong and purposely kept it from her daughter.

This is a subplot in the first installment of Skyhold Academy Yearbook, although it's not revealed until roughly halfway through the story. The real reason that Marian Hawke has taken a sabbatical from teaching at the eponymous school is that her sister Bethany has the potentially fatal North Llomerryn virus, and needs extensive medical treatment to help her have a chance of surviving. Of the main cast, only Varric knows the full truth, although it's implied that Leliana is at least somewhat in the loop (being technically Hawke's boss).

The Summer I Turned Pretty: Susannah turns out to have cancer, and her treatments aren't working. We learn she'd had cancer before, and keeps it from her loved ones for a long time. All of them are very upset to learn of it later. She wanted to enjoy one more summer before her death with them without having it hang over their heads, as she's chosen not to try experimental treatments as doing that was too hard the first time on her, so Susannah just wanted to be herself in her last days. Her sons begging gets her to change her mind however and try the experimental ones.

Litchi Faye-Ling from BlazBlue contracted the same corruption that turned her friend Lotte into the creature known as Arakune, and is slowly being consumed by the corruption which will cause either complete memory loss or turning the rest into Arakune. To others, she'll try to say that "There's just someone I need to save," and pass off with a reassuring smile and the image of a helpful, compassionate lady that she's fine, to the point that nobody else knows that she's secretly dying. Part of her not revealing it may have to do with how she didn't want to burden everyone that doesn't know better with her quest to save Lotte along with her Guilt Complex.

Macross:
Roy Fokker's death in Super Dimension Fortress Macross (and by extension, Robotech). After coming back from a mission where his fighter got shot up, he spends a quiet night at his girlfriend's place strumming his guitar... then keels over, revealing bloody wounds in his back. YMMV as to whether it was a Stupid Sacrifice or not; since the injuries weren't severe enough to debilitate him, he might have lived if he'd gotten immediate treatment, but on the other hand, Roy might have sensed that he was about to die and that no immediate treatment would've been enough. In the latter case, he simply decided to not die alone, going to Claudia's place intending to see her one last time before kicking it. Considering that Roy pulled lots of risky stuff throughout the course of the series, it's not that implausible.

During the early part of season 7 of The X-Files, Mulder is hospitalized for unusual brain activity. At the end of the three-episode arc, it's implied he made a full recovery. In reality, he did not and is dying from an "undiagnosable condition." He hides it from everyone, including the audience. It's not until he goes missing in season 8 that anyone finds out. And how do Scully and Skinner find out? Doggett has the manhunt team bring in his family headstone from North Carolina, which Mulder had recently changed to include his own name, birth year, and anticipated year of death.

The titular protagonist of Leafie, a Hen into the Wild is slowly dying for much of the latter half of the film. She lives in a marsh with her adopted duckling son despite being a chicken. The environment is not suitable for a domesticated hen. By autumn, Leafie's feathers are messy, she's overly skinny, and she is weak. She keeps it from her son nevertheless. Leafie doesn't die of natural causes. She lets herself be eaten by the one-eyed weasel so she can produce milk to feed her newborn kits.

It is kept secret from as many in the Seven Kingdoms as possible to prevent the nobles from getting ideas, and Robert is far from unaware that neither of his sons are ready to rule after him as Tommen is too young and Joffrey is Joffrey and Robert is very close to outright disinherenting him even before his mortality loomed.

Fushigi Yuugi: Genbu Kaiden:
This is the case for Takiko. For the first half of the series, she's repeatedly shown to be coughing or suffering from colds and it's treated as nothing too bad. Then she finds out that she caught tuberculosis from her recently deceased mother and needs to take medicine. Takiko takes her medicine but keeps the fact that it's tuberculosis a secret from her companions and lover.
In a more meta sense, all the priestesses of the Four Gods can count as this, since part of their duty of being the Priestess is to summon the God, become one with them, and get consumed by them for every wish they get fulfilled. Genbu Priestess Takiko gets killed via murder-suicide by her father in the real world after only two wishes due to the excess pain the consumption causes her, Seiryu Priestess Yui's whole body began to turn scaley and was absorbed into Seiryu and Suzaku and Byakko Priestesses Miaka and Suzuno, respectively, managed to have strong enough wills to not be consumed.

In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Rau le Creuset is very slowly dying because his cells are a good 30 years older than they should be. There are a number of scenes that show him self-medicating to deal with the pain, but the cause is not explained until The Big Damn Reveal, as his condition is the root of his misanthropy and thus his desire to wipe out humanity with him in retaliation.

In Iron Man, Tony Stark figures out pretty quickly that the palladium-based Arc Reactor in his chest, which keeps him alive, is at the same time slowly poisoning him. By Iron Man 2 his situation is desperate, and he spends the first half of the film preparing for his death by handing control of his company to Pepper, then spending his birthday in a public, alcohol-fueled breakdown. It even turns out the suit James Rhodes managed to "steal" from him had been pre-programmed by Stark to allow Rhodes to pilot it.

Subverted in Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse. Poor Zoe Nightshade knew she would be the heroine in the prophecy to "die by a parent's hand", but told no one because she needed to go on this quest and die for her beloved lady Artemis.

In Next (2020), Paul suffers from fatal familial insomnia, and he estimates that he's got maybe five months left to live. In the meantime, he has to contend with hallucinations and delirium and is trying to keep his illness a secret from everyone else, including his brother. The finale reveals that Abby has inherited the condition, and has already reached the insomnia phase, though she's also enrolled in a study to try and treat it.

Darker than Black:
Season 1 Huang hides a Secret Stab Wound to sacrifice themself as a distraction. Also in DTB, November 11 believes Amber's precognition that he's not long for this world, but keeps it to himself.
Amber spans a Batman Gambit to detonate the Gate using judicious use of her time manipulation power. The price she pays for using her power is Cast from Lifespan in reverse, causing her to age backwards. She worked it all out so that she had exactly enough lifespan left to see her plan to fruition, and unmakes herself the last time she uses her power.

Danganronpa
In Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair this is revealed to be the case with Nagito Komaeda. While it's never revealed in the main story, going through his Free Time Events reveals that Nagito was diagnosed with malignant lymphoma and frontotemporal dementia right before he was accepted into Hope's Peak Academy and has around a year and a half left to live. May or may not be subverted as he appears alive and well in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls and Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School but this may be due to his supernatural luck keeping him alive past his life expectancy against his will.
Kaito Momota in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony suffers from a terminal disease but manages to keep it a secret until late in the game, and ultimately succumbs during his own execution.

In Bokurano, all the kids piloting Zearth would qualify. They don't suffer from any kind of medical condition, but once they pilot Zearth, they die. They just keep this a secret from everyone they know, to avoid hurting their feelings, but they secretly know that once it's their turn to pilot Zearth, they only have very little time left to live. In the manga, Kana Ushiro manages to keep her status as a pilot secret until her turn comes up late in the story.

Kaiser in Season 3 of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. He wants one last amazing duel before his heart condition takes him down, and he shrugs off concern and support all season when anyone notices the pain he's in. He actually does die at the end of his duel with a Yubel-possessed Johan, with his heart giving out moments before his Death or Glory Attack would've reduced his life points to 0. Somehow, he manages to reappear back on Earth a few episodes into Season 4. While his condition is seemingly no longer terminal, it did permanently cripple him.

Sure enough, she's gone within months.

One of the most famous movie examples is in El Cid when the eponymous hero tells those around him to keep the fact that he is dying a secret so as to avoid demoralizing the Spanish troops and boosting the morale of the besieging Moors. This ends with the famous scene when the now-deceased Cid, strapped to his horse, "leads" his army out of the city gates to victory.

Freddie Mercury kept his AIDS diagnosis secret from everyone except his fellow members of Queen and a few close friends, not publicly revealing he had AIDS until the day before he died in November 1991. Media outlets successfully guessed that he had AIDS since the late '80s, but he and the rest of Queen still fought off the topic (with Mercury claiming he was simply exhausted from years of performing) until it became impossible to avoid.

Warhammer 40,000; resident Evilutionary Biologist Fabius Bile has the Blight, a gene cancer endemic among the first generation Emperor's Children that nearly wiped out the Legion before they even got on campaign during the Great Crusade. He kept it under wraps for decades prior to the Heresy because saying otherwise would probably get him euthanized, surviving off forging his medical records and stealing healthy organs from other Astartes. Eventually, Bile switched to Body Surfing via clones to keep ahead of the Blight, though he still does his best to keep the truth hidden in case one of his many enemies might sense weakness and destroy him and his research in one swoop.

Both versions of Angels in the Outfield have the lead angel let slip that the veteran pitcher having a revival season — Hellman for the original 1951 version, Clark for the 1994 remake — on the team won't be there in six months because they have a terminal illness that hasn't been disclosed yet. In the 1994 version, even the one who's going to die soon doesn't know it, as Clark won't be diagnosed with lung cancer from all those years smoking until after the season is over.

Hotch realizes that a suspect is dying of cancer by recognizing the pattern his own father went through before his death: unexplained weight loss, visiting lawyers, closing bank accounts, etc.
The prime suspect in a young girl's abduction is her father. Partway through the investigation, it's revealed that the reason he's been pulling away from the mother and was out of contact when the girl went missing was that his cancer had returned and he didn't want them to watch him suffer.

His Lie in April: Word of God states that Kousei's ailment was the very deadly brain disorder known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease; as a result of this, Kousei mental capabilities diminish to the point where he can no longer speak, see, or remember his name. This is explicitly stated in the Director's Cut of the story. Kousei hides his real intentions to his friends as things worsen for him, keeping them to himself.

In The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers, Ironfist is dying from taking a cerebro-seeking bullet to the head in an "accident", and having it slowly working its way closer and closer to its target and unable to be stopped. He hides it because he's assigned to what is a dream mission for him and doesn't want to be ruled unfit to serve it. Prowl apparently knew all along and allowed Ironfist to go on the mission because fulfilling it would require someone to die. Someone else made the sacrifice instead, and Ironfist was eventually killed by the bullet after the mission.

Satine in Moulin Rouge! is dying of tuberculosis. For the maximum amount of gut-wrenching Dramatic Irony, almost everyone knows it before she does (including the audience since the story is a flashback told a year after her death). When she does find out, she keeps it a secret in an effort to spare her beloved's life.

In the Warrior Cats book Twilight, an unknown cat in the prologue is told by StarClan that they are going to die soon. This cat ends up being Cinderpelt, and she never tells anyone until her death. Turns out that being told in advance was a test, and since she kept it secret, she is rewarded by being reincarnated as her own niece, who was born the same instant Cinderpelt died.

Jeopardy!: Contestant Cindy Stowell competed on the show after being diagnosed with colon cancer and won over $100,000 over seven episodes. When they called her to invite her to be on the show, she warned them that she would need to compete in the very near future because she wouldn't survive until the end of the year. She and the producers made it a point to hide that she was competing despite having only months to live. Sadly, she died only eight days before her episodes aired. Also sadly, Cindy's winnings had qualified her for the next Tournament of Champions. The returning contestants (and Alex) all wore colon cancer awareness ribbons in her honor during the tournament.

And to top it all off, one of her daughters Never Got to Say Goodbye.

In Requiem for a Loud, Lincoln tries to keep his 5 younger sisters from finding out that he only has 2 weeks left to live, considering that the news is already driving his older sisters into a deep depression and he hates to see them like this. He fails with Lisa, who easily figures it out on her own, and is only half-successful with Lucy, who has her suspicions despite Lincoln claiming to be fine. He has more luck with Lola, Lana, and Lily until chapter 18; by that point, all of the sisters (sans Lily due to her being a baby) have learned the truth.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson decline to prosecute the killer in "The Boscombe Valley Mystery" because of this trope; the killer is terminally ill and has less than a month left. They decide that his daughter, who doesn't know his prognosis, has already been through enough without having to contend with her father spending his final days in prison and manage to conveniently not give the written confession to the police until after he has died.

Tales of the Abyss:
Late into 'the game, Luke's Fonon's (the particles that make up his body) begin breaking down after the events at the Tower of Rem. He opts to keep this a secret from the rest of the party so they won't treat him differently. Subverted in that they all figure it out eventually.
Asch. Mostly found out by doing a rather obscure sidequest with late or strange time frames, it's explained that because of how Luke was created from him, he's dying. Well, maybe. Probably. The doctor-scientist that explained this to him used many extensive words that no layman would understand easily. Given the conversation, it sounds like Asch flat out misunderstood the guy and might actually have not been dying after all...

In AI: The Somnium Files, Genki Girl and Mysterious Waif Iris says early on in the game that she's going to die soon but quickly plays it off as a joke. In certain routes, it's revealed that she has terminal brain cancer and has a few months to live, at most. She doesn't survive most routes as a result of either the tumor or the Serial Killer, but in the Golden Ending the Boss manages to pull some strings to fund the treatment with nanomachines she previously couldn't afford to cure her.

Subverted in The Serpent Sea. Flower's health fails over the course of the book, with her stubbornly shrugging off the others' concerns, until she dies at the end. The subversion: The only one it was a secret from was Moon. Everyone else knew it was coming because elderly Raksura's scales turn white when they're close to dying of old age; Moon, having grown up without other Raksura around, didn't recognize the sign. Flower didn't say anything to him because she liked having someone around that didn't treat her like a dying person.

In Relayer, Terra is the result of the Will of the Earth granting a new personality to a girl rendered brain-dead by the experiments conducted on her. While this version of Terra lives for two or three years, that brain damage didn't just go away and begins to take away her senses and body functions during the final arc. Terra only confesses after she suddenly faints while Luna is trying to reconcile with her, and Uranus estimates some time later that Terra has a month to live. She dies in the epilogue.

YuYu Hakusho: Shortly after being curb-stomped by Yusuke in his Mazoku-based form, Sensui (the Big Bad of the Chapter Black Story Arc) is revealed by Itsuki to have battled against an incurable illness, and the reason he wanted to open the gateway to the Makai was to find and fight against a very strong Worthy Opponent capable of killing him (namely a Class S entity) before his illness did.note (SPOILERS)By that point, Yusuke's friends (Hiei, Kurama, and Kuwabara) have achieved that level, but it's Yusuke himself under the unapproved control of his still-living demonic ancestor Raizen who defeats him. The villain's wish is technically fulfilled as he dies post-battle, and Itsuki preserves his body so his soul doesn't face punishment in the Spirit Realm, but the means of the conflict's end is why Yusuke remains furious until after the end of the season.
