A musician released a song she wrote with her son in her final days in hospice.
Cat Janice, a 31-year-old singer-songwriter, asked TikTok users to stream the song she wrote her seven-year-old Loren, “Dance You Outta My Head,” as her final wish so that she can leave him the proceeds when she passes. Janice told People that she entered hospice on 10 January when she was no longer able to breathe in the ICU.
For the past couple of years, the Washington DC native has been battling cancer on and off after discovering a lump in her neck in November 2021. In March of the following year, she realised that the lump was still there. “It was larger and it was very hard,” she said in a TikTok video.
A doctor diagnosed her with sarcoma, a rare malignant tumor. After undergoing surgery, chemo and radiation, she was declared cancer-free on 22 July 2022. However, by June 2023, things took a turn for the Washington Area Music Award winner when she learned that the cancer had returned, and this time around, it was in her lungs.
