For the last four years, Kylee Carnegie-Middlebrook has done everything she can to get rid of the cancer that's continued to grow inside of her.
But in February, she said, doctors told her the disease had spread beyond control and advised her to begin palliative treatments.
"It was like total devastation," Carnegie-Middlebrook, 30, and a resident of Harrow, Ont., told CBC News.

"I felt like I had spent so much time telling myself that I never wanted to get to that point, and I heard the words and my whole world just fell apart."
Carnegie-Middlebrook was diagnosed with appendix cancer in 2018 shortly after getting married. She said Canadian doctors who treat this type of cancer have denied her the surgery she feels she needs to save her life.
Carnegie-Middlebrook said Canadian doctors have told her that her cancer is now inoperable, so they won't perform the CRS with HIPEC surgery again. But next month, Carnegie-Middlebrook plans to undergo the surgery at Allegheny Health Network in Pittsburgh, Penn., at a cost of $100,000 Cdn.
"It's scary, honestly," Carnegie-Middlebrook said about travelling outside Canada for care.
"It's tough thinking you'll go into an enormous amount of debt to save your life."

CBC News has also heard from one other person dealing with cancer at the time who had been denied the CRS with HIPEC surgery in Canada, but was able to get it in the United States. Two and a half years after this surgery, the person said they have "no evidence of progressive disease."

Carnegie-Middlebrook was diagnosed with appendix cancer in 2018 shortly after getting married. She said Canadian doctors who treat this type of cancer have denied her the surgery she feels she needs to save her life.
Carnegie-Middlebrook had already undergone cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) once before at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital, two years after her diagnosis of this rare form of cancer. The procedure involves removing cancerous tumours from the abdominal cavity, which is then bathed in hot chemotherapy to kill any microscopic cancer cells. Her appendix was removed and the cancer had spread inside her abdomen.

Already done once in Canada. So no use and second time not offered. Yes she has died despite the second HIPEC. Canada healthcare still good. Spore will be zero time HIPEC unless you pay for it. Will sinkie insurers pay for such 100k operation?
Ask your open leg big big sell nude buy Porsche or fabricate stories to harm Taiwanese cantonese women like you. Pui!
I read the obituary again didn’t say she did second HIPEC surgery although there’s gofundme for the surgery. She could have died before that.
