Brenda D - This would NEVER happen in Canada. You are a prime example of what I mean - NO ONE SHOULD BE DENIED HEALTH COVERAGE, ESPECIALLY TREATMENT FOR A LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESS, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT PAY.
Brenda H and Kate - Sorry, but I agree to disagree. Again, the Canadian system is not perfect, but how would you feel if you were in Brenda D's position?
And Mary Anne - you are so right - the enemy here is Cancer. Tomorrow my girls and I with some neighbours and friends are doing the CIBC Run for the Cure - the big coast to coast Breast Cancer Run/Walk in Canada. Let's hope this is the last year we will have to do it!!
all the best
