Quinn, 28, Liver Cancer

Quinn shared their story at CancerCon 2026’s Storytelling Open Mic in Seattle.

Quinn shares profound insight into his experience with grief after being diagnosed with cancer, highlighting his relationship with faith and his health. He shines a light on grief as an individually unique experience and the value of acceptance.

“I feel so much better after practicing to accept- No, I’m not going to unpause life from three years ago. No, I’m not going to be the same person as I was before cancer, but I have to start where I am.”
