While Carolyn Too is terminally ill, she is determined to make the most of her time. She says: "I refuse to mope about it". Read more: str.sg/naDM
After being diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2022, she went through two rounds of unsuccessful chemotherapy and an operation to remove her womb. The cancer has spread to other parts of her body. For someone facing Death’s dark gaze, the former business development manager is remarkably cheerful, chirpy even.
“When I was told I had only six months, I said: ‘Okay, fine. Let’s make the best of the six months.’ I can wake up every day and say: ‘I’m dying, I’m dying.’ But I try not to.
In April 2024, she held a living funeral - a memorial service for a person before he or she dies.
"It’s an opportunity to create another memory for (my friends and loved ones) before I leave this world."
