Facing a double mastectomy surgery with grace takes courage. Facing one with courage and joy is extraordinary.
But that’s exactly what Deborah Cohan did yesterday right before she
went into surgery to have her breasts removed. Cohan, an Ob/Gyn and mom
of two, held a dance party with her medical team in the operating room
of Mt. Zion Hospital in San Francisco.
This inspiring 6-minute-long video, posted on YouTube, shows Cohan busting some serious moves
as she wiggles and twerks to Beyonce’s hit “Get Me Bodied.” Cohan
requested that friends and family make videos of themselves dancing to
Bey too so that she could watch them during her recovery. “I have
visions of a
healing video montage,” she wrote. “Nothing brings me
greater joy than catalyzing others to dance, move, be in their bodies.
Are you with me people?”
They were. You can check out videos of Deborah’s fans shaking their booties in solidarity on her
CaringBridge page.
