She firmly believed that modern medicine would find a cure for all her cancers and fix her up like new, right up to the moment she died.
She saw the leaps and bounds technology made from her birth to death she had so much faith that she'd be part of something fantastic. It was hard watching her have all that hope where it was literally impossible.
So sad... I hope we do manage to find cures for the worst diseases. Just sputtering out and dying of 'old age' is one thing, but suffering like that is horrible. :(
