Why?
Stage 3 cancer.
In under two weeks from my initial visit I had about a million tests, got diagnosed in Cornell, got a second opinion at Memorial (who agreed with the diagnosis but suggested a different treatment protocol), flew halfway across the country for a consultation with the top specialist in the world on my specific type to determine the protocol (thank you, malachim at RCCS), and began chemo.
At least 20 appointments across at least 6 facilities, all gotten within hours or days.
In Canada, I probably would've died before I ever got the diagnosis.
