For Cancer Patients, the Pandemic is Not Over

OTTAWA, ONJuly 25, 2022 /CNW/ – A recent Canadian Cancer Survivor Network (CCSN) survey shows Canadian cancer patients and caregivers remain fearful and stressed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Most surveyed continue to take measures to protect themselves and those they care for even as governments across Canada lift public health restrictions.

This is the fourth CCSN survey in a series conducted by Léger to determine how cancer patients and caregivers from coast-to-coast are coping with the pandemic as it enters its third year.

“The survey results tell us that many cancer patients and caregivers still believe that COVID-19 poses a serious risk for them, and that they feel the weight of responsibility for keeping themselves and their loved ones safe,” says Jackie Manthorne, President and CEO of the Canadian Cancer Survivor Network.
