Our "Intro to Advocacy" series offers critical lessons and alerts to potential hurdles. From Newfoundland's small healthcare system, we sought second opinions from top centre’s like Princess Margaret and Johns Hopkins, with the goal of aligning our care with the best. Guided by Craig’s Cause and our nightly search for the latest treatments, we uncovered options missed by local providers. Setting aside differences, our family became unknowing advocates, fighting for the best outcomes for our mom.
