90-year-old woman chooses road trip over cancer treatment

USA – In the last six months, a 90-year-old woman has seen some of the most famous landmarks in the US, including Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Canyon.

Norma, who was diagnosed with cancer last year, decided to take the epic road trip across the country rather than undergo treatment. Currently seeing the sights in Florida, Norma is travelling in a motor home with her son Tim, daughter-in-law Ramie and their pet poodle Ringo. Over Christmas, she fulfilled one of her dreams by taking a ride in a hot air balloon. Norma, from Michigan, told The Huffington Post: “People shouldn’t be afraid to travel. No matter your age.” She made the decision to go on the trip in August 2015 after she was diagnosed with uterine cancer and was asked by a doctor about how she would like to proceed with her treatment.(Independent UK)…[+]
