Right? Clint would totally pull something like that. See, this is why he hates doctors - they always have BAD NEWS. And when they tell him he's dying, like months-to-live, gonna-get-really-sick dying, he knows he can't put Phil through that. And he knows that if he tells Phil, he'll somehow get talked into staying. Fuck that shit. So he leaves the doctor's office and just keeps going, except for a quick stop to empty his account. Cash is untraceable. The timing sucks, but two days before the wedding (which Phil has spent MONTHS planning, and really, it's a good thing Clint's already dying because Phil would so kill him over this) is better than two days after (and Clint really hopes those tickets are refundable because that honeymoon was expensive). He drives for a couple hours, sells his car to a used dealer in a no-name town, and hitches a few states away before he goes completely off-grid.
And he probably spends the next two years doing increasingly dangerous stunts for money, because hey, he's dying anyway, why not try to jump a motorcycle through a flaming hoop!
