I park in the driveway of a two-storey home in Markham, Ont., and a smiling, middle-aged woman climbs into the back seat. After we greet each other, I remind her we’ll be picking up two more women who live in Markham and have similar appointment times at the cancer centre located 35 minutes away.
I soon realize the women have become fast friends during their weeks of radiation treatment — there is a distinct “Hey girlfriend!” vibe
