Coping with COVID-19 on Sarah’s Floor

A pandemic is a difficult time to live through when you are healthy. Managing kids with cancer and hematologic diseases brings on many more challenges. We checked in with the Hematology-Oncology team to see how things are going.

Together we stand for cancer patients

We recently announced the launch of the Cedars Covid-19 Humanitarian Fund for Pediatric and Adult Cancer Patients and their families, aligned with the Wilfrid Howick Humanitarian Fund and administered through Cedars CanSupport throughout the MUHC. If you missed that message, through this fund, the Cedars Cancer Foundation at the McGill University Health Center (MUHC) will continue to provide assistance and resources for cancer patients, and their families, in financial need, in an effort to alleviate the negative impact of financial hardship, reducing the stress associated with life’s basic necessities such as shelter, groceries, utilities, and transportation costs. The fund allows Cedars to help those most in need. Donors to this fund offer a tangible outreach to our patients when they are at their most vulnerable. Thank you for supporting this important patient community.

Covid Trials Canada

Covidtrials.ca is the first website in Canada that’s designed as a hub to match patients with COVID-19 clinical trials. It’s an innovation that should help researchers in Canada connect with the participants they need and accelerate their urgent, important work to lead us to a viable treatment or vaccine for this disease.

Covid-19 Humanitarian Fund for pediatric & adult cancer patients & their families

The world has changed, we are living in isolation within our city, and we are coming to grips with a new reality. At times like these, we need to expand our community, check in regularly with one another, and look at the beauty of life. Inspired by the upcoming Passover and Easter holidays, we wanted to reach out to our Cedars community with a message of hope and an important reminder.

Our Response to COVID-19

We are all in unchartered waters as we join together to stop the spread of COVID-19 and take steps to protect the health of our neighbours as well as ourselves. At the Cedars Cancer Foundation we are particularly concerned that people living with cancer and in active cancer treatment or have previously been treated for cancer, older patients, and people with other serious chronic medical conditions are at heightened risk during this outbreak.

Tea, cake and music for cancer patients and their families

The cakes are baked by volunteer Linda Chernin Rosenblatt, all two dozen every week, the teacups are china and the music is live. For inpatients being treated for cancer at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) Glen site and their families, Tea @ 2 on Thursday afternoons is more than tea. It is a diversion, a welcome distraction from the travails of illness.
