I'm wondering how many West Coast Gals we currently have on here. It makes it a little easier to compare notes as our health-care is provincial. Would be nice to share tips and such to each other as we wade though the health-care Bureaucracy.
I'm in Richmond BC (a part of the Vancouver Lower Mainland) and the majority of my treatment has been at Vancouver General Hospital and Vancouver Cancer Agency.. with a few small surgical procedures done at UBC and my original Lumpectomy at Richmond General. My GP is also in Richmond. Ive been on the BCO boards since 2007 with a few breaks.
Please pipe in even if only to let us know your here

Ladies,
I live in richmond, definitely I want a hang on. I planned to join 2019 catcus club gathering, but radiation side effect made me very tired that I cancelled it at last moment.
Whoever organizes, I would suggest put a few (say three) options, and then all women reply with yes/no to all the options, then we can figure out easily which one is the most convenient one. As for the place, ideally someplace that is convenient for transit while have parking.
My next checkup is Nov 4, hope this one back all clear quickly.

Ladies,
I have not been here for a while, hopefully every body goes well.
I am in richmond, currently looking for a place to purchase, the candidate is in coquitlam. The place belongs to city of coquitlam, however just a few minutes walk to eagle ridge hospital, which belongs to port moody. It sounds that there is no cancer centre in city of coquitlam, but eagle ridge hospital has cancer centre. Anybody knows those living in coquitlam go to which cancer centre? This is my 4th year in richmond cancer centre, dont know how long I will continuously report to cancer centre if everything goes well in the future, hopefully!
Thanks ladies, wish all of you a merry Christmas and happy New Year.
