Glad I live in Canada where my Cancer treatment was free. (Except for hospital parking pass)

Did they offer you a free M.A.I.D. too?

No, mine was before MAID came in to effect I think, and not terminal if they cured it. I do know someone who had terminal situation and they took the MAID option to avoid 6 weeks of pain and degradation

It would probably be cheaper for me to drive up to White Rock or Abbotsford BC then go see a doctor in Seattle even with my insurance. But when you get sick it's kind of hard to shop around.
