LIKE THE REST OF US
I cringe when I read or hear about naysayers of private medical providers. At the height of the pandemic, my family doctor strongly urged me to take the FIT test for colon cancer screening. I finally did and sent the sample to the lab for testing. The results were positive, and I needed a colonoscopy for further diagnosis. The surgeon I was referred to said the hospitals were a mess and offered the option of a digestive clinic . I agreed and it was scheduled for the following week.
That was followed by six months of chemotherapy and cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC. Subsequent scans show no evidence of recurrence, and I am under surveillance. Concurrent to my situation, my sister’s hernia had advanced to the strangulation stage and she needed urgent surgery. She was soon booked into a clinic in Markham that specializes in hernias to have the procedure performed. She has now recovered.
