Testimonials

Chronic Disease

I was very concerned about the onset of new back and neck pain and how it was impacting by ability to function. When I was diagnosed with possible myelomalacia – softening of the spine – my Nurse Case Manager really helped me understand my diagnosis and treatment plan. With ongoing phone support, we also discussed other potential causes of the pain, alternative treatments for my pain like physio and massage, and what my MRI results meant. My Nurse Case Manager also helped me prepare for appointments by ensuring I had the right questions to ask and access to local community services during the pandemic. Carepath’s larger network even helped me secure local specialist appointments faster. Thanks to my Nurse Case Manager, my spouse and I felt supported and in control and I was able to remain actively at work throughout diagnosis and treatment.

Chronic Disease

At the age of 59, I was diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancer. From scheduling multiple calls with me and my family over two years to helping me understand test results and manage the side effects of chemotherapy, my Nurse Case Manager supported my family and I with everything we needed throughout my cancer journey. I was able to work part-time from home when not on active treatment, and my family and I felt empowered and emotionally supported by our nurse navigator.

A heartfelt thank you to the Carepath Team!

Chronic Care Program

An Ottawa teacher, Susan first heard about Carepath Cancer program through her benefits committee rep — never dreaming that she’d one day need to use the service herself. But when Susan was diagnosed with cancer, she immediately turned to the Carepath Cancer Care program.
