Why are cancer patients paying the price with their lives because of poor policies and planning that has led to this crisis in our health care system?

Why are cancer patients lives less important than those with Covid?

Poor planning is no excuse for prioritizing one group over another. Cancer surgeries are not elective ..They are life saving. We were told that elective surgeries would be cancelled not CANCER surgeries. 

Reverse the decision of cancellation to important surgeries and life saving surgeries. Bring in more health care workers into work in ICU’s and DO NOT delay cancer patients for necessary life saving treatment! 

It is hard  to sit and watch this.  It’s hard to know that without immediate treatment we can lose those we love. It’s hard to know that people who have already waited months for treatment are getting cancelled at the last moment. Imagine what it does to them physically and emotionally.  Also imagine if this was you, your spouse, kids, parents, or friend. We need to care even if it’s not happening to us directly.
The mental health impact of these delays adds another layer of stress for patients and families. 

Together, let’s help make this IMPORTANT change.  Please sign and share for as many signatures we can get.  Action needs to be taken as soon as possible.
