In documentary, the late poet Andrea Gibson shared their terminal cancer journey to help others

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Andrea Gibson would be the first to tell you that they never expected a documentary about their life with a terminal cancer diagnosis to be funny. No one did. But Gibson, a celebrated poet and performance artist who died in July at age 49, also didn’t expect to see the film at all. They weren’t alone in that either. Three years after the ovarian cancer diagnosis, life was day-by-day.

Yet by some miracle Gibson was able to see “Come See Me in the Good Light,” to look at a living document of their life over the past year with their wife, Megan Falley, from coffee chats to chemotherapy appointments, and to realize that yes, that dinner table conversation about a certain sex act that they had about two hours after first meeting the documentary crew made the final cut.
