My oncologist has found a research protocol at the Jewish General hospital that my help me. One of the items they need to determine if I'm eligible is a PET scan. I was scheduled for one tomorrow at Hôtel-Dieu, but I got a call today saying their machine is broken, and my scan is cancelled. They have to reschedule 60 patients; they'll call me back with a new date.
It could take weeks. I can't afford to wait, so I'm going to have it done in a private clinic. My insurance will cover 75%.
For the many friends who support me in my battle with cancer.
About Me
The Journey
When I first learned that I had cancer, it didn't seem too serious. The tumour was just beneath the skin, so the surgeon took it out and I started taking treatments to prevent a relapse. However, in January 2009, I found out out that the treatments weren't working and I have new tumours. There is no medical cure, only therapies that may slow the disease down. These work in about 30% of the cases. If they don't work, I can expect to die in 1 to 2 years.
My life, therefore, is in God's hands.
