Читать книгу A Lighter Side to Cancer: From Wake-up Call to Radiant Wellness - Sandra Miniere - Страница 9

October and November 2000

The surgeon scheduled the modified left mastectomy with reconstruction approximately six weeks after the diagnosis. She gave me time to do my cancer research and take my parents to Hawaii the middle of November. They were celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. While I had the dread of a mastectomy hanging over me, I did not want to cancel the trip. My father had not been back to Honolulu since World Word II, and my mother had never been there. It seemed like a great way for them to celebrate their marriage of sixty years. Plus, it provided a good distraction for me. While researching cancer treatment options, I was planning a vacation to Hawaii. It took some of the heaviness out of my body and soul.
