nde surgery mixed Significant Transformation 8/10 Intensity

Trícia Macedo was a writer undergoing a radical mastectomy due to aggressive breast cancer. During the lengthy surgery, she experienced a near-death experience (NDE). She felt as if she left her body and observed events in the hospital, including a conversation between a nurse and another patient. After waking up, she reported her experience to the medical staff, who confirmed details she had witnessed, reinforcing her belief that it was not just a hallucination.

This experience transformed her understanding of life and consciousness, leading her to feel as if she is in a state between life and death, while also deepening her appreciation for her relationships and writing.
