"You have Stage Four cancer and are bleeding to death." | Bunny Terry | Ep. 5

Her diagnosis came as a complete surprise. No health insurance. Little money. And yet she survived. And a key part of her healing was learning to be grateful. Even when facing death.

I met Bunny Terry nearly a year ago. My oldest daughter, Kristina, introduced us when I was visiting Santa Fe, NM. A picture of health with a sunny disposition, I never would have guessed that Bunny had faced death with a diagnosis of such severity that her friend even remarked, “You know, this is the end.”

But it wasn’t. Bunny not only survived this deadly diagnosis but she did so because of the support of an amazing network of family and friends.

And her father who called her daily and asked, “Honey, what are you grateful for today?”

As Bunny explains in this episode, most people have no idea how grueling chemotherapy for colon cancer is. The side effects are horrible. And there was surgery too.

And yet, with the patient persistence of her father’s calls, Bunny learned that even in the depths of this terrible disease, there is much to be grateful for. Her daily practice of gratitude became an important part of her healing journey. It also became a best-selling book. You can find out more about Bunny and her book here.

Join me in my conversation with this remarkable cancer survivor.
