The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses, personal care attendants and staff at Michael Garron Hospital, especially Dr. Barua and the team in the Medical Oncology Unit. You gave her another lease on life after her diagnosis for which we are truly grateful for. Donations to the Michael Garron Hospital Foundation would be greatly appreciated.
