Friends of Casey Quinlan (@MightyCasey) have known she was coping with a recurrence of her 2007 breast cancer, and it wasn’t going well. But on Sunday March 12, 2023 she told breast cancer health data activist Andrea Downing that she’s going to enter hospice.
This is simply not possible. Invincible sheroes simply do not die. But, as they say, cancer sucks.
If you don’t already know Casey, this video gives you the whole picture in ten minutes. Because no mere words could possibly capture the Casey experience.

She's a lifetime member of the Society for Participatory Medicine, which is about patients as FULL PARTNERS with their clinicians. Here's the SPM blog post announcing this situation, with a lot more about her contributions to the patient movement worldwide:
