CANCER. CROSSING ASSISTS TWO TIME PATIENT WITH TRAVEL COSTS

 


Client #259 

72-year-old male from the Westman Region has a history of colorectal cancer and faced more adversity with a new diagnosis of prostate cancer. After chemotherapy he required radiation therapy and needed to travel to the Prostate Center, in Winnipeg (500 km round-trip) for appointments. He lives alone, surviving on a meager pension. The cost of housing, utilities and food left little at the end of the month for unexpected expenses. Cancer Crossing is pleased to contribute towards his travel costs, taking some of the pressure off so he could focus on his recovery.

Strong Support from Healthcare Staff


"What surprised me the most about my cancer journey ? 

We didn’t get any grief when we had to cancel appointments because of road conditions. The staff were very accommodating. I met other patients who were going through the same thing as me. I felt a lot of support from the staff and other patients. They celebrated with me when I completed my treatments."  D.M.
