My GI doctor told me that average Canadian hospitals are better than average US hospitals.
At the same time best US hospitals are better than best Canadian hospitals.
So people who have access to MD Andersen, MSK, Mayo, Cleveland, Dana-Farber, UCLA etc. are getting better care than what we can ever have in Canada.

sorry to hear about your dagnosis but glad they are taking good care of you at Cch hospital and Daffodil House, they are lovely, I spent 8 weeks staying there on my own in 2016.
Do PM me if there is anything I can help with, as you can see from my signature I have spent quite a few years being looked after by the NZ health system
Cheers

Yep, there are a few of us flightless types on this site. I'm now over 4 1/2 years since surgery and doing ok. But I still get anxious, I suppose we all do...

Thank you folk for that. I appreciate it.
I have just completed initial 5 weeks of radiation and now have to sit it out for about 6 weeks (minimum of 4) before surgery.
I cannot say I am in very good spirits at all. BUT still fighting on.
