Dr. McEwan and his team cared for my late husband, who was referred to him in the very late states of his NET Cancer. I can say nothing but good about him and the team at the Cross Cancer Institute. They stayed on board with what my husband wanted, and they never gave up on him. Unfortunately the government of Canada in 2013 stopped them from bringing in Luteituim Octreotate on a case by case basis until they could get enough people who fit the treatment, to do it in batches. I am certain this contributed to my husband's early passing after two years in treatment. His tumour markers had gone from over 200,000 down to 200...and then the government stepped in. In the 9 months it took to gather enough patients to please the government, the NET cancer cells became very wise and came back at my husband with a vengance. Having said that, he would not have survived an extra 3 years if we had not had Dr. McEwan's brilliant, passionate and caring team. Not everything is in the hands of the doctors, as the Harper Conservatives proved that!
