The Science of Preserving Hope

It is terrifying when you are the oldest person in the room. And you are only forty-eight.

All the other women scheduled for surgery tomorrow are younger.

One is a beautiful young scientist.

She returned to her country to get married. During a routine checkup, they found cancer. Cancer in both breasts.

She tackles the problem scientifically, knowing every detail. I don’t know even one percent of what she has already started applying.

Both of her breasts will have to be removed.

Eight years later, I find out she gave birth to a baby boy. Soon, she will have a second one.

Without breasts, but deeply aware of the need to preserve her eggs.

After all, she had come home for her wedding, to start her family.
