@mamajite, I think you’re right about that but like everything else, old habits tend to go away slow, on one hand they are improving the quality of treatments and providing better outcomes, early detection is a very big part of increasing longevity for patients. In Canada we don’t have the very best healthcare system and unless you can afford private healthcare insurance you’re often left in a very vulnerable position. My cancer journey was and still is filled with unnecessary complications that are too many to mention, I’m grateful that I have made it this far and to be honest, I had to find my own path through all the barriers that I had to face. I feel that more errors are being made for many people and it’s hard enough to cope with cancer and also have to deal with so much incompetency.
