Quebec man stuck in Mexico with cancer after family says back pain dismissed at Canadian hospital
The family had to take Bigras to the emergency room during their transfer in, where he stayed for the weekend and had to be treated with morphine. They received medication to be able to control the pain and he was discharged on Sunday, with the hopes of heading home.
After an X-ray, the medical team at Hospital Español proceeded with an MRI. The doctor showed Chavez a photo of a massive tumor in her husband’s back. Afterward, a biopsy of the tumor confirmed the lymphoma was back. With his delicate health, Bigras hasn’t been able to leave the hospital.Health Matters: The importance of regular cancer screening – Mar 15, 2022
