Doug Berry says after a lengthy journey to his cancer diagnosis and treatment, he is thankful for the travel support he received through the Cancer Travel and Accommodation Services (CTAAS) program.
In 2023, Doug had visited Mexico for his daughter’s wedding. For years, he had been experiencing soreness and itchiness on his skin. During the trip, the Sicamous resident saw a new dermatologist who suggested he undergo a biopsy.
“Two weeks later, I received a letter saying I should visit an oncologist,” Doug recalls. “It was a bit of a shock, but I called my doctor right away.”
