2015年對這位住在美國密西根州的老奶奶Norma來說,可以說是人生最低潮的一年。她不僅失去老公,更被醫師告知她的子宮內長了顆惡性腫瘤,俗稱子宮癌。然而,當醫生詢問她要以開刀、放射性治療或是化療來切除腫瘤時,Norma卻有了不一樣的想法:「我今年都90歲了,我想來趟

2015年對這位住在美國密西根州的老奶奶Norma來說,可以說是人生最低潮的一年。她不僅失去老公,更被醫師告知她的子宮內長了顆惡性腫瘤,俗稱子宮癌。然而,當醫生詢問她要以開刀、放射性治療或是化療來切除腫瘤時,Norma卻有了不一樣的想法:「我今年都90歲了,我想來趟精彩的旅行!」

2015 started off horribly for Norma, a ninety-year-old Grandma from northern Michigan. Over the course of one week, she lost her husband of 67 years and also received news that she had a cancerous mass in her uterus. But when her doctors offered her the option of surgery, radiation, and chemo, Norma had other ideas. "I'm ninety years old. I'm hitting the road," she told her doctors. 

Norma's medical team completely understood the reasoning behind Norma's decision. "As doctors, we see what cancer treatment looks like everyday. ICU, nursing homes, awful side effects and honestly, there is no guarantee she will survive the initial surgery to remove the mass," one of her doctors said. "You are doing exactly what I would do in the same situation. Have a great trip!" he told her.
 
沒想到Norma的想法獲得了醫生的支持:「身為醫生,我看過太多的癌症病患,老實說我無法保證動手術能夠完全移除子宮內的腫瘤。事實上,如果我是妳的話,我也會選擇出去旅行!祝妳一路順風!」

 

於是,Norma和她的家人開著露營車、開始一連串為期6個月的旅行!出發前,她還在臉書上開了粉絲專頁Driving Miss Norma,一邊玩樂一邊和大家分享旅途的點點滴滴呢!

Suffering loss has given Norma some perfect perspective. "Keep praying every day and God will take care of you, even when it feels like you can’t care for yourself." Her best advice is to talk about the happier times. "Storytelling is really, really helpful," she said.

 

這趟旅行不只帶給Norma無數快樂回憶,也讓她對生命有了不一樣的體悟。她透露遠離病痛的秘訣,就是與他人分享自己的精彩故事和幸福時光。

"Just keep on going every day, that’s about it," she advises. According to her Facebook page, she aspires to go to the moon. And what little we now know about Norma, there's nothing stopping her.
