Cancer patient 90-year-old American went on a trip instead of treatment
Is it possible to travel at the age of 90? As it turned out, this seemingly crazy idea is quite feasible. Norma, a 90-year-old Michigan resident, was diagnosed with uterine cancer and her husband had died shortly before. In response to the treatment options offered by her doctors, Norma replied, "I am already 90 years old, so leave me alone," and set off to pursue her old dream. Norma traveled with her son and his wife throughout the United States.
