A 90-year old widow who was diagnosed with cancer in her uterus chose to spend the remainder of her life traveling the world instead of fighting the fatal disease. 

Two days after Norma’s husband, Leo, died from cancer, a urine sample at the doctor’s office found evidence of a tumor in Norma’s uterus. 

The doctor discussed the surgical treatments, as well as radiation and chemo, but Norma would have none of it. 

I'm 90-years-old, I'm hitting the road.
