Nearly two in five Canadians are expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes according to the Canadian Cancer Society. And without question, the pressure on our health care system during the pandemic has delayed diagnosis and treatment for many Nova Scotians. Danielle Smith was studying to be a nurse when she detected an unsual lump while practising for one of her classes. And she was fortunate enough to be seen by doctors in June of 2020 and her own family physician called her to break the news. Throughout her treatment, Smith was helped by the Canadian Cancer Society who helped her get a wig to wear as she dealt with the side effects of chemotherapy. She's since recovered and is enjoying her new found perspective on life with her partner and their four children. And she's also taken to pay it forward by participating in the CIBC Run for the Cure and to promote the Cancer Society's daffodil campaign. She truly is only focusing on the positive as she lives her life as a Cancer survivor.
