What would you do if someone told you that you had 15 months to live?

In March, Doug Cartwright went from a healthy guy to a Stage 4 brain cancer patient with a terminal diagnosis. But instead of letting the diagnosis close him down, Doug is asking a much harder question: How do you keep living when life suddenly becomes brutally, undeniably unpleasant?

This week, Nurse Julie sits down with the man inspiring the internet right now to explore exactly that, and what it takes to keep your heart open when life gets really, really hard.

Doug shares the strange symptoms and silent seizures that preceded his diagnosis, the psychedelic experience that suddenly feels eerily relevant, a message he believes came from his dad on the other side, and why he chooses to stay open no matter what life throws at him. He also breaks down the “Three A’s,” his clinical trial with Cart-T cell therapy, his thoughts on hospice, and why he’s surprisingly excited about the idea of dying.
