Inspirational Breast Cancer Patient Dances Her Way to Operating Room

Facing a double mastectomy operation makes some cancer patients so scared that can’t even walk to the operating room.

For one metro Atlanta woman, though, fear was replaced by the need to dance.

After a late 2013 biopsy revealed that Doreta Norris had cancer in one breast, the 52-year-old woman decided to have a double mastectomy as a precaution to later finding cancer in the other breast.

On the morning of her surgery at Piedmont Henry Hospital in Stockbridge, Ga., Norris told her nurse that she wanted to dance. And dance she did.

Emerging from her hospital room, she found doctors and nurses lining the hall, all ready to get down and boogie to "Gangnam Style" as the music blasted.

Said Norris to WSB-TV, “It was an emotional dance. Staff came up to hug me, dance with me and give me words of encouragement. I truly felt like I could conquer the world.” 

So look out world, now that Norris is cancer-free, it won’t be long before she slips on those dancing shoes yet again.
