Agreed! I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in ‘19 & just got my scan appointment for Oct, but I have to drive across the city. I can’t book my regular CT scan for late Aug/early Sept due to no availability. It’s scary! Pay-for-scans seems to be impacting wait times for patients like me.

A critical element of maximizing everyone’s health is to keep & strengthen our publicly-funded health care system, ensuring zero private healthcare. Cheaper for everyone, short and long-term. Best for Canada. There is no case to be made that private is good if public is properly funded. #canpoli

Most times, living with terminal cancer REALLY sucks. That's probably an understatement. But sometimes, I reframe my mindset and use it for good: • Participate in research • Arrange to donate my body for cancer research • Write a song focused on my legacy. What do you do when you are handed 🍋?

Yesterday, I juggled Patient Partner duties, casually discussed donating my body to science (Friday night vibes, right?), I also shared my first-ever original song. "Paint My Canvas" is everything I couldn't say out loud about diagnosis, motherhood, and the legacy I'm building. More 👇(1/3)
