Capessa Health and Fitness Section, Feature Video
A great new woman’s online community called Capessa has a feature video under its Health and Fitness section.
The feature video is entitled How I Used My Passion for Gardening to Fight Breast Cancer.
“My parents had been married for 62 years when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.”
My father had Alzheimer’s. My mother was his caretaker, and she was single-minded in that. When she was diagnosed, it was just the most incredible moment to go and visit her and watch her struggle with this whole thing. They were going to take her in for an experimental radiation therapy, rather than go in and biopsy and try to take out anything, because she was 86 at the time. It was all going to make her very sick and she knew that.
My sisters and I were constantly telling her she didn’t have to do this. The tumor was very small and encapsulated, and the doctors didn’t think it was going to be a problem. She responded, “Are you kidding? Even if it doesn’t do anything for me, I will do this for you, I will do this for your daughters and their daughters.” It was just such a moment. First she gives me life, and then she gives her whole self.
Read the full story, maybe you’ll get lessons and inspiration from it.
