An Ontario woman who has outlived her stage four lung cancer prognosis was asked last Thursday to leave the hospital to free up space, leaving her family scrambling to find accommodations, the woman’s grandchildren say.
For months, Miranda Newman and her brother, Adam Luciano, who are joint power of attorneys, have navigated the labyrinthine hospital system as they care for their grandmother, 77-year-old Kathy Luciano. Admitted to a GTA-based hospital following a heart attack in July, Luciano was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic lung cancer in August, along with pericardial effusion and fluid in her lungs.
What a nightmare.
