What a horribly cold-hearted and tactless thing to say. From what I've read, she got diagnosed a month ago. Is our treatment here in Canada so damn good that we'd have been able to save her? I doubt it.

  • How do you know that? You're making assumptions based on nothing.

    You know people die of cancer in Canada too, right? You know people die of preventable illnesses in Canada too, right? Stop pretending we're perfect.

    Anyway it simply does not matter if you are right - this is not the time or place for it.

    • My mother had it detected well in advance, and is currently being treated, the cancer is in remission now.

      I doubt Rebecca ever got that chance. Sure, surprise late stage cancer happens, but it's often caught when you get semi-annual checkups.
