No I am not near my daughter. I visited her for 17 days 3 weeks ago. I now live in Thailand due to the cost of living in Canada. If I remained in Canada I would be homeless. I talk to my daughter every day.

Just a quick comment about some of the intricacies of the Canadian healthcare system. It is very difficult to access what we might consider better or more specialized care from cancer hospitals w/o a referral from the oncologist that you started with. If they are inclined to make the referral, the first and sometimes only option would be a hospital within the same jurisdiction. For those living in Ontario Princess Margaret Hospital would be the option of choice, as that would not require the Government of Ontario to interact with the government of another province on the financial end. However, there are no requirements for that hospital to accept the referral. (By the way, Princess Margaret has an excellent reputation and is one of the best, if not the best in the country. To my knowledge, referrals outside the province of residence are quite rare and would seldom be considered unless there is an uncommonly compelling reason for it. And even with a referral to a large cancer center in the province of residence there is no guarantee that the patient will be accepted.
This reality is one of the major disadvantages of Canadian healthcare. We have traded away personal autonomy in return for not having to pay personally for our care. As nothing is free in our world, and the cost of care, which can be very high, has to come from somewhere—then if not from premiums, then the other option is from much higher taxes. Something to consider for those looking to reform the systems we have.
Happy Holidays to all.
