Grace Segran has been writing about her terminal cancer diagnosis for cogwbur since the end of 2021. In this piece, Grace shares how she's choosing to spend the time she has left.
After my diagnosis, I didn't know what to tell my granddaughter, Ella. She was only five when I learned about the cancer. When she came over for a visit after my first chemo treatment, I told her I needed to lie down for a while.I wanted to tell her the truth. That our time together was short. But what would I say? I also worried about the after part.
I stopped listening to music, reading, watching movies, attending Zoom Bible class, reaching out to people, writing. I had lost purpose and interest in life. About six weeks after stopping treatment, my nausea and aversion to food was gone. I woke up one morning wanting an egg salad on sourdough bread and an iced oat milk latte for breakfast. For lunch I wondered if we should do the dim sum carts at Joyful Garden. My taste for lemonade and tahini shortbread at Sofra was back to.
