Just to show you how kind Heather is she gave up her job to move her to help me as I injured my back and couldn't work anymore and my pre-teen was becoming too much for just me.. This was in 2016. Heather Spent the next 3 yrs working for the Central Saanich Police Departments, community halls, mayor's offices. cleaning etc. over this period she had gone to the clinics many times to be turned away and told there was nothing wrong with her.. BUT YET.. Major weight loss .. No Bowel movements for weeks.. MAJOR back pain.. Her ankles were swollen.. Well Finally in Sept 2019 she was admitted to the hospital.. UNFORTUNATELY .. the doctor that she was assigned to assume that she was a raging alcoholic because my sisters liver was majorly inflamed .. so he left her in the hallway in a bed for 9 hrs .. did not order any tests .. then sent her home and told her very sternly stop drinking .. I yelled at him .. and told him MY SISTER doesn't drink.. we left .. Two weeks went by she wasn't getting any better I complained to another doctor who ordered a colonoscopy .. But That other doctor from the hospital found out and canceled the order said she is too young for that test .. 56 lets do a cat scan instead .. Well, the results came back end of May.. On June 12 they got heather in for a colonoscopy and on June 13 they removed 72 % of her INTESTINE the tumor was so big it was hiding behind her duo denim which inflamed her liver and her spleen.. Heather Has Metastatic stage 4 colon cancer that has moved into her stomach now.. the doctors have given her 4 to 8 mths ..
Her main wish is to not leave her sister or friends with any bills .. She wants to be a true Canadian and visit
Her Bucket list is Horney Island, Saltspring Island,
co-vid permitting Nova scotia.. Niagra Falls.. PEI..
She says this way she can truly die a true Canadian as she has been to all shores of the Canadian Sea..
