Re: Welcome new member marc9000
As I've said earlier in this thread I had 10 hours of surgery to remove my tumour with both an ENT and a neuro surgeon. I had 5 weeks of radiation which caused throat spasms which blew out a zenkers diverticulum in my throat requiring another surgery. I have had 3 stents put in as a had a blocked artery and have been having quarterly follow up visitations for the cancer for nearly 5 years.
The point of writing all that is that the cost was completely covered by our medicare system. I have probably had over a million dollars worth of medical care in the last 5 years. My politics lean towards the conservative side of things, (at least by Canadian standards), but I am grateful that we do have publicly funded health care in Canada even with all the warts in the system.
BTW way I feel great and and had a very small recurrence of the cancer last spring which was removed in 20 mins in the clinic.

He has told you, O man, what is good ; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8
