Naomi Short has gained countless supporters in Hamilton during her battle with Stage 4 brain cancer.

On Wednesday, she entertained as much as she inspired.

Naomi visited the Hamilton City Council meeting. As she sat in the mayor’s seat, she raised her 10 fingers to show how many radiation treatments she has left, following four surgeries since September, before she begins six months of chemotherapy treatments in late January.

She was asked before the meeting if she was looking forward to Christmas.

“Yeah, of course I am,” she answered politely. “And guess what. My last treatment is the day after Christmas.”
