    As a cancer survivor I know that going through it is not a very fun process. For someone to save someone else from that process is more than you can put into words. Even if you don’t go through chemo if you just have a surgery like I did the disease still affects you For the rest of your life. For him to have totally avoided all of that heartache because of someone’s good deed is amazing. She is a going to be an amazing Doctor 👩‍⚕️!
