“Covered in Love” in Hospice with Stage 4 Stomach Cancer I Alyssa’s Patient Story

Alyssa was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach (gastric) cancer in May 2023 and has been through multiple treatments, but her cancer has continued to progress. With no more treatment options available, she made the deeply personal decision to transition to hospice care at home.

In this third long-form conversation with The Patient Story, Alyssa shares how she is choosing comfort, connection, and meaning with the time she has, while reflecting on the legacy she’s already created for her son, family, and the millions who have followed along with her journey online.

Thank you, Alyssa, for sharing your story to help others.
