They wanted her to undergo cancer treatment, but this 90-year-old took off on an epic road trip instead

A 90-year-old woman chose to undertake a road trip when she should have been in hospital getting her chemotherapy done.

Here’s how her story goes: Last year, a cancerous mass was detected on Norma’s uterus just a day after her husband died. On learning about the health condition, she said she wanted to hit the roads rather than take rounds of the hospital to undergo a painful cancer treatment. Maybe, a strict family and a strict doctor would have called her wishes unrealistic and forced her to stick to the treatment. But Norma turned out to be super lucky.

This is what her doctor replied, ‘We see what cancer treatment looks like every day. ICU, nursing homes, awful side effects and honestly, there is no guarantee she will survive the initial surgery to remove the mass. You are doing exactly what I would want to do in this situation. Have a fantastic trip!’

And in less than a month off she was with her son, his wife and her 8-year-old grandson on an indefinite road trip across the United States. The trio has been posting pictures of their journey on this Facebook page and they are absolutely stunning to say the least. Take a look!
