CANCER CROSSING ASSISTS WITH MEDICAL ACCOMMODATIONS FOR HODGKIN'S PATIENT

Cancer Crossing has assisted a woman from southwest Manitoba who has been on an extended Hodgkin's journey.  She was first diagnosed in 2017 and has been successful in the past finding financial support for long term stays in Winnipeg for treatment through her local community.

She is facing another long term stay in Winnipeg for more treatment and is finding it very challenging to corral the financial support needed for the stay as times are tough.  Her and her family are exploring other means of financial aid. 

She is unable to work and is on disability.  She has insurance but medical accommodations are not covered.
Cancer Crossing has assisted this patient with the cost of accommodation in Winnipeg as she tries her best to pull together the rest of what she needs to ensure she can get the care she requires.

CANCER CROSSING ASSISTS LUNG CANCER PATIENT WAITING FOR BENEFITS TO START, WITH COST OF MEDICATION

 Cancer Crossing has assisted a woman from the Interlake Region of Manitoba with lung cancer.

She has had a series of unfortunate events that involved a prior health condition that caused her to be off work, and as she was on a back to work program, she was diagnosed with lung cancer.  As a result, she has no sick time remaining.  Her spouse has recently been laid off - which only exacerbates the situation.

She will be receiving EI Sickness benefits but she is in a service gap so has no extended health benefits and she is finding access to medication for pain and reflux resulting from radiation treatment, unaffordable.

Cancer Crossing has assisted this patient with the cost of medication.

CANCER CROSSING ASSISTS PATIENT EXPERIENCING HER THIRD BREAST CANCER

Cancer Crossing has assisted a Winnipeg woman with a recurrence of breast cancer.  This is not just a recurrence, it's her third breast cancer.  To deal with this latest recurrence, she has had a mastectomy, chemo and radiation.  Her prognosis going forward is a good one.

However, due to a comorbidity, she is on permanent disability which yields a very modest income and her only family is her mother who is in a care home.

She lives alone and does not have family or friends who can consistently come and help her with meal prep - which is required due to limited use of her left arm.  She has found a meal delivery service that will provide healthy meals at a very reasonable price.  

In addition, she is experiencing some radiation burn.  She is very sensitive to chemicals in personal care products and has found a natural cream specially formulated for radiation burn, but it is a bit pricey.  

Cancer Crossing has provided financial assistance to this patient for specialty cream for radiation burn and a few healthy, low fat meals from the meal prep service at a very reasonable price.

CANCER CROSSING ASSISTS MULTIPLE MYELOMA PATIENT WITH TRAVEL TO WINNIPEG AND MEDICATION COSTS

Cancer Crossing has assisted a woman from the Interlake Region of Manitoba.  She has Multiple Myeloma which has further complicated her existing health concerns.

She is awaiting placement in Long Term Care and is residing in the hospital until a spot opens up for her.  She has been denied CPP-D due to insufficient contributions and is on limited EIA.  She recently travelled to Winnipeg for radiation for symptom control and will be beginning chemotherapy.  She is paneled and responsible for personal expenses.  She has had additional expenses related to travel to Winnipeg for radiation treatment and medication not covered under her health card.  She is struggling financially and so Cancer Crossing has made a contribution towards her travel costs to Winnipeg and medications not covered under her health card.
