73 year old woman with lung cancer is helped with hotel costs while undergoing radiation

 When your budget is already tight and there is no room for unexpected extras a cancer diagnosis brings even more worries. How will you pay for travel to Winnipeg or Brandon for oncology appointments, tests and treatments? How will you pay for a hotel room if you need to stay for a few days? This is the situation a retired couple from western Manitoba found themselves in. A woman in her early 70s was diagnosed with lung cancer. Her husband is her caregiver and their budget had no room for these costs. Cancer Crossing stepped in to help with hotel fees while she underwent a few days of radiation, alleviating one worry from their lives.
