Mr. Yan was diagnosed of both lung cancer and thyroid cancer in August, which is a rare case according to his oncologist. The lung cancer he'got is already stage 4 because it has spreaded to his spine and pubic bone. To get ready for chemotherapy, he is taking some suuplements which cost a lot. He is not working any more because of cancer. However, he can only collect EI benefit since he has no coverage of either short term or long term disability from his company. There is no critical illness insurance either for him. In addition, his 6 year son was diagnosed of autism 2years ago. He has been receiving private IBI(intensive behaviour intervention) for the past two years which costs the family around 2000 dollars a month while he is waiting for government funded IBI. His wife has to take leave from work to take care of him.
