But Bill’s double diagnosis of cancer in his right eye and cancer in his lung last year, did mean he was suddenly forced to lean on others for help. With his wife needing care of her own, Bill’s requirement of attending daily radiotherapy appointments for six weeks put a big strain on him at a time he was most in need.
Bill’s radiotherapy had to start straight after his diagnosis, so CanCare helped him organise transport to and from his daily appointments. Being able to rely on this throughout the treatment lifted a huge burden, and he could focus on getting better.
