We had been meeting for a number of months when she posed the question. We met in person one time, but other than that single appointment, all of our meetings were virtual. She had metastatic cancer. She didn’t actually want to know that her cancer had returned. The metastatic disease had been found when they couldn’t complete her colonoscopy and ordered a scan to see why. She helped me understand the depth of her medical trauma by telling me that she couldn’t stand to walk in the cancer center as it brought back all the trauma of her initial diagnosis and treatment. I’m sure other patients felt similarly, but few named the trauma of the treatment experience. She asked if we could do virtual visits. She was struggling to tolerate treatment for the disease she didn’t want to know was in her body. Now that she knew her cancer had returned, she felt obligated to try treatment, but she hadn’t tolerated treatment well the first time and was struggling again with the potential benefits versus the side effects. It was, of course, also hard to delineate side effects from symptoms of progressive disease. Was the nausea from meds or from the disease in her belly? She had switched her cancer care to another facility, but we continued our virtual palliative care appointments. She posed the question that I still think about years later during one of these routine visits when she was sharing her struggles and her uncertainty about whether to continue treatment. She was describing the symptoms she was experiencing that were preventing her from participating in her life. She asked the question that I’m still not quite sure how to answer: “How do I live when I know that I am dying?”
