The Truth Of It Video Series: Doug Baker

Published 2012-07-25
" My name is Doug Baker. Three years ago I was diagnosed with cancer and it was a Grade 3 or 4 brain tumour. It was one of those big scares in my life where it was potentially something that would be life-ending. But the great news was that changed and it was Grade 1 and it was something that was fully removable. Since then I have been able to move on and work on the healing process of getting better and feel my life is better for it."

This video is part of The Truth of It video series. Developed as a collaboration between the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer and the Health Design Lab, part of the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, The Truth of It features interviews with Canadians diagnosed with cancer as well as their caregivers who were asked to share their story so others could learn from their experience. By providing candid accounts of the personal impact of cancer, the video series will serve as an educational resource for health care professionals as well as patients, survivors and others with a personal connection to cancer.
