Saskatchewan breast cancer patients can’t afford Calgary trip for care

Leaked Saskatchewan government e-mails say some breast cancer patients are choosing not to go to Calgary for treatment because they can’t afford it.The e-mails, provided to the Opposition NDP, include correspondence last week between an official with the Saskatchewan Party government and a patient. The NDP said it redacted their names to protect their identities.“There have been patients that chose not to go to Calgary due to costs,” the official says in the e-mail exchange.
