“Choosing Life, That You May Live” with Deanna Won

Joining today: former Air Force colonel, Health Coach and stage-four ovarian cancer survivor, Deanna Won

How do you choose—do you define—who you are and what to do when you have only a month left to ‘your time’? When the doctors describe to you symptoms, procedures and what your few weeks in hospice will be like?
For Deanna Won, a former military colonel, scientist and trained fighter, that decision to want, to survive, to take back her autonomy, chase her dreams, regain her life started with one simple moment: 
“This cancer is not me, but it is mine.”

Oh, and this wasn’t planned, but the Hebrew word for 18 is chai, as in “l’chaim” the cheer or phrase for ‘to life!’.
