While Cathy Rows’ desire to have fun and stay active fuels her pickleball game, she says the rallying of her family, friends and Kingston Health Sciences Centre (KHSC) care teams powered her ability to bounce back from colon and lung cancer in just 16 short weeks.
Equipped with a robotic operating system called da Vinci, Cathy’s surgical teams were able to perform both her surgeries with robotic assistance, which meant her recovery times were quick. At best, she was home in a few days and on the pickleball courts 10 days later.
