Behavioral change before diagnosis

My aunt recently passed away due to complications from ovarian cancer, but a short while before she was diagnosed with it, she had suddenly started drawing the coolest pictures. This from a woman who, in fifty years, had hardly ever picked up a pencil to write, let alone draw. I was wondering if others had noticed anomalous behavior like this before a diagnosis of cancer.
