Not the 'Typical Cancer Patient'

Katherine Heinowitz said she had the best year of her life after being diagnosed with cancer. But to do that, she had to do something she had never done before.

Breast cancer survivor Katherine Heinowitz decided that she was not the “typical cancer patient.” In fact, she had the best year of her life after being diagnosed, and was determined to stay positive throughout the treatment process.

However, to ensure the best possible outcome of her treatment results, Heinowitz had to do something she had never done before: give up control. She put her trust in her medical team and followed their instructions closely. Even at home, she decided to delegate chores and duties, such as hosting Thanksgiving dinner.
