Brittany Maynard, 29, was diagnosed in April with a stage 4 malignant brain tumor. Doctors gave her six months to live and told her that she could suffer-terrible headaches, seizures, losing the ability to speak and use her body. So, early October, Brittany made plans to die -- on her terms.

After assessing her prognosis and discussing end-of-life choices, Maynard and her family reluctantly moved from their San Francisco home to Oregon, one of five states that authorize death with dignity.

Maynard told CBS "This Morning" that she doesn't want to die, but she's already experiencing pain and suffering, and "moments when I'm looking at my husband's face and I can't think of his name."

The brave cancer patient scheduled her death date for Nov. 1. Her plan is to take doctor prescribed medication and die in her Portland, Oregon bedroom.

But until Nov. 1, Maynard has focused on living-experiencing each item on her bucket list.

"The Canyon was breathtakingly beautiful, and I was able to enjoy my time with the two things I love most: my family and nature," she wrote Oct. 24 on her blog. Maynard included pictures of her with family on the blog post.

"Sadly, it is impossible to forget my cancer," she wrote.

The morning after her visit to the Grand Canyon, Maynard experienced her worst seizure ever, which rendered her temporarily unable to speak.

"The seizure was a harsh reminder that my symptoms continue to worsen as the tumor runs its course," she wrote.

The most debilitating seizures have not stopped Maynard from the work she's passionate about: fighting for death-with-dignity laws for all terminally ill patients. She has started the Brittany Maynard Fund to fight for death-with-dignity laws in other states.

"I didn't launch this campaign because I wanted attention; in fact, it's hard for me to process it all," she wrote. "I did this because I want to see a world where everyone has access to death with dignity, as I have had. My journey is easier because of this choice."
