A cancer patient who issued a tearful plea daring the premier of Nova Scotia to tell her the province isn’t in the midst of a health-care crisis says she’s grateful for the support she’s received from friends and complete strangers.

Inez Rudderham told CTV Atlantic Tuesday that she has received significant support since she posted her now-viral video to Facebook last week, including Premier Stephen McNeil taking her up on her challenge by scheduling a meeting.

“I think that touched people, because we’ve all had moments in our lives where we felt like that – hopeless, overwhelmed, scared, fearful.” “I think it was a combination of hearing peoples’ cries and reading news reports about [McNeil] saying there is no crisis,” Rudderham said.Rudderham’s cancer journey began over a year ago with hemorrhoid-like symptoms and lethargy – something unusual for a healthy, active young mother.

Finally, last May, in a last-ditch effort, Rudderham returned to the hospital adamant that she would not leave until she was given a rectal exam. The doctor she saw on this visit agreed that something wasn’t right, and ordered an endoscopy. Two weeks after that, she was told that she had Stage 3 anal cancer.

N.S. health officials warn of possible measles exposure at Halifax hospitalPublic health officials in Nova Scotia are warning of a potential exposure to measles at a hospital in Halifax. This should not be a story in Canada. Mandatory vaccinations should be in place. No don't text me back! Any parent who refuses to vaccinate and if this results in someone contacting measles, that parent should be sued to the max. If death results charged with CN causing death. Vaccinations are available to prevent this. The people who refuse to vaccinate are putting a lot of babies & those with compromised immune systems at risk. There is no excuse good enough for their irresponsible behavior. Is tnis tne spread od a disease by big pharma killing some off to try and make money on needles
