It would be a rare day of rest for Alisha, who estimates she averages at least three days a week on the road, driving her sons in from their Langley home for cancer treatments at B.C. Children91裸聊视频檚 Hospital (BCCH) in Vancouver, a route so familiar and automatic that she can arrive without remembering any of the turns along the way.

Her boys were both diagnosed with the same type of cancer, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, within a few months of each other, in 2022.

Since then, 91裸聊视频渋t91裸聊视频檚 a whole new world,91裸聊视频� she commented, one of doctors, nurses and specialists, of chemo and other medical procedures, and sometimes long stays in the hospital,

Weston, who was the first brother to be diagnosed, has had a 91裸聊视频渞eally rough go,91裸聊视频� that included a six week stay in hospital that ended just in time for Christmas, Alisha advised.
