This week's installment mentioned that the cancer was probably caused by a procedure she had as a baby. I don't remember details about the procedure, can anyone enlighten?

Also wondering about this, I missed that week.

It was mentioned in a previous chapter. They were told that cancer is a very rare side effect many years down the line. They were very torn, but after consulting with doctors and Rabbanim they were advised to go ahead. Says it was an agonizing decision, but they followed medical and Rabbinic advice.

Sure but it was with the intention that she should be admired not criticized.
This is not the bungalow colony story that was fiction. There are real people with feelings behind this true life story.
Again, I don’t know them and I’m not part of their community. I’m just innocently pointing this out.

We all have a story to tell.
My life would make an interesting book and if I would be brave enough to have it written about, I wouldn’t want to hear people’s criticism when they don’t know everything.
You have to realize that there’s no anonymity here -so there are certain things the author just can’t share.

Obviously that's the intention but many people with different perspectives are reading it. Our thoughts can't be controlled. My life story can take up a book a few inches thick. I'm not publishing it because I don't want people to analyze it from every angle. I choose with whom to share my trials when I need support and validation. Otherwise it back fires. Sharing your life story in a magazine involves the risk of people discussing your story. Otherwise why would ami publish it?

I can't remember exactly, something to do making her hand usable.

I don’t think it was for her hand but it had something to do with her condition
