Keeping V is fine, but they are going to have to do some mental gymnastics to get him/her back in the game after giving them six months to live and cut scenes showing how they spent that time.
If it's done such that V suddenly three months in finds some info on how to fix him/herself, that will feel tacked on and forced, not to mention I'm a bit tired of the "you have to hurry hurry hurry 'cause you're dying" fake timer.
