With regard to the quality of life of cancer patients in regard to their after-care or their life going forward, many women report ongoing issues for a long time, whether in regard to pain, sleep or all of those issues that come along. What comes up a lot in communities such as mine is access to supports that somebody might need, especially for one-parent families and even in regard to the type of housing people live in, access to mental health supports and pain management, and so on. In that regard, what types of services and supports do the witnesses feel are needed in terms of quality of life for patients in recovery?
