"You can imagine what it would be like, but you can't, until it happens to you," says Pickering city Coun. Ian Cumming, who was diagnosed with terminal liv- er cancer in 2017. But with the unflagging sup- port of his wife, Amy Lathrop, he found the path back to health through the Mayo Clinic in Min- nesota, and a new treatment not available in Canada. Sworn in to his second term of office on Pickering council last December, he became emotional as he announced he'd regained his health, and was looking for- ward to seeing city projects come to fruition. "I beat it, and here I am." His ordeal began during a weekend trip to Kingston for a HOW PICKERING CITY COUN.

Copyright © 2019 DURHAM - With Metro- linx now considering four options for the extension of the GO train to Bowman- ville, Durham support is co- alescing around the origi- nally proposed route that would see the extension run through central Oshawa. At open house-style meetings held in Claring- ton and Oshawa last week, Metrolinx officials said the funding envelope for the long-discussed extension was $550 million, but the current cost estimate rang- es from $721 million to $1.2 billion, based on require- ments by Canadian Pacific Railway (CP), which owns the track that the train was slated to run on from Osha- wa, east to Bowmanville. As a result, Metrolinx decided to look at alterna- tive routes for the exten- sion. Two options, including the originally proposed route, run mainly on the CP line via central Oshawa and the former Knob Hill Farms property, which would be a new GO station. In both cases, the Courtice and Bowmanville stations would be north of Highway 401. A third option has the train running along the Canadian National (CN) line south of Highway 401, through a primarily indus- trial area, with the Bow- manville GO station locat- ed south of the highway. A fourth hybrid option pro- poses running the train south of Highway 401 through Oshawa, but then it would swing north to the CP line in Clarington, with Clarington stations locat- ed north of the highway. According to Metrolinx, preliminary estimates show the third and fourth options are achievable un- der the current budget. Representatives from Whitby, Oshawa and Cla- rington have all voiced their support for the origi- nal option, as has the Re- gion of Durham. Oshawa Mayor Dan Carter says he strongly be- lieves Metrolinx should stick with the route identi- fied in 2011, via central Oshawa, because that's the route that will create the most economic growth and job creation, and it will be supported by connections to active transportation. "This goes to the eco- nomic prosperity of our community; it's a legacy project," said Carter. "This isn't just about moving people from point A to point B, this is about prop- erties that have been se- cured, plans have been done, (environmental as- sessments) have been de- veloped. We've gone through a process for many years to be able to look at the CP lines and be able to accomplish it." The mayor said he un- derstands the province is facing economic pres- sures, but he sees the pro- ject as an answer to those pressures. "We have faced a lot of challenges and hurdles; this is a moment I need the pre- mier to make a commit- ment to the prosperity and well-being of our communi- ty, not only for the year 2019, but for the next 50 years." It's particularly impor- tant for Oshawa to see de- velopment on the former Knob Hill Farms property, Carter said, and the situa- tion, so far, does not look positive, because Metro- linx has identified the two routes through central Oshawa as being high risk for both cost and timeline to completion, and the oth- er two routes are consid- ered low- or moderate-risk. Clarington Mayor Adri- an Foster said both the mu- nicipalities and the region are frustrated with Metro- linx. "We are happy that, fi- nally, some dialogue is starting again, because there's been complete and utter radio silence. We were shocked when we looked at Metrolinx's web- site and it went from a pro- ject with a dollar amount attached in funding and a project in progress to one under investigation while Niagara - which was done in exactly the same fashion -moved ahead. And there was no heads-up to the stakeholders." Three out of the four options under consider- ation would see the Bow- manville GO station locat- ed north of Highway 401, in the west end, where housing has popped up in anticipation of the new station. "I've got a thousand houses whose property val- ues will probably drop by 10 per cent or more; it's a mas- sive hit," said Foster of a southern route. "People bought houses based on a promise, we developed a transit hub based on a promise of many, many years, so I've got all kinds of high density and no tran- sit." He points out the busi- ness case for the original route envisions the cre- ation of 21,000 jobs and $1.1 billion in private invest- ment. Both Oshawa and Clarington have said they are willing to contribute to the $150,000 cost of a busi- ness case for the newly proposed routes. An online petition has been launched at saveour- train.ca aimed at pressur- ing the government to stick with the original plan. Feedback at the public meetings seemed to sup- port the original route, as well. "We had a very good turnout yesterday. People are very committed to the original option, some oth- er folks wanted the other options, some people don't want the trains run- ning beside their homes on the north side, but the majority of people were committed to keeping the option that was originally planned and that's still on the table," said Manuel Pedrosa, senior manager of Toronto East-Durham community and stake- holder relations for Met- rolinx, during the Osha- wa open house.

He'd been feeling fine, with no complaints or illness, but on the Friday night, "I felt a little discomfort in my side." He took an extra strength Tylenol, but woke up the next morning with a tightness in his chest. His wife said it was time for a visit to the hospital. "I was really lucky it was Kingston," says Cumming, recalling there was only one other patient in the emergency room. With his pain worsen- ing, the hospital gave him painkillers intravenously, and ran a series of tests, in- cluding X-ray, ultrasound and blood work. Lathrop left the hospital to tend to convention re- sponsibilities, and re- turned later to pick him up. They waited together, and finally asked hospital staff if they could get going. That's when he got the stunning news. "I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but you have ter- minal cancer," Cumming recalls medical staff in- forming him. With a 22-centimetre tu- mour on his liver, two- thirds of the vital organ was cancerous, a slap in the face to a man who'd been living alcohol-free for 16 years. "I felt like somebody had hit me in the face with a big, wet fish," he says. "I felt stunned." They went out that night as planned, but the drive home from the Kingston weekend was sombre. "There wasn't much talking, but there was a lot of crying," recalls Lathrop. Together since 2010, the couple made the trip to Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto on Monday. "They rush you through testing," says Cumming, with his wife chiming in, "They were really good." Lathrop's critical role in his journey back to health had already begun, as much of what doctors and technicians said to him during the next three days of testing and MRIs failed to register with him. "You're kind of stunned when it's you," explains Cumming. But when Sunnybrook staff concluded they couldn't do anything for him, he protested. "No offence, but I want a second opinion. Not a sec- ond opinion from the Sun- nybrook team, but a second outside opinion." Lathrop, who works as a herpetologist at the Royal Ontario Museum - study- ing reptiles and doing DNA research - had begun com- piling all Cumming's medi- cal reports in a three-ring binder. She began re- searching medical journals at the University of Toron- to. Throughout Cumming's medical journey, she kept track of what he couldn't. "I was his ears and his eyes," she says. "He was pretty tired." The prognosis was dire. There was no chemothera- py option, and a radiation option was restricted as the tumour was so large. "My liver was starting to go through early failure," says Cumming. "I was starting to lose weight. My blood work was bad." Sunnybrook advised him to discuss palliative care options with Lake- ridge Health. "We kept a sense of hu- mour about it all," says Cumming, who adds he went to Lakeridge Health to listen. "I heard them. It's nasty chemo. They're talk- ing to you about dying, not living." Aged 70 at the time, Cumming says he felt older. "Toward the end, I was so tired. I was exhausted. I felt like a really old man." Lathrop, from Nebras- ka, discovered she had an American friend with liver cancer who'd found a "sur- gically aggressive" doctor at the Mayo Clinic. The couple sent Cum- ming's scans to the clinic, but a phone call from the surgeon two weeks later didn't initially bring good news. "The Canadians are right; there's nothing I can do," Cumming recalls the surgeon's assessment. He had less than a 15 per cent chance of making it off the surgery table. But then the American surgeon made a sugges- tion. "I know people who are doing work in radia- tion. Do you mind if I talk to them?" Finally, the call came that turned the tide. The Mayo Clinic's radiation team offered a glimmer of hope. "They said they might have an option. How soon can you get here?" recalls Cumming. The couple drove to Minnesota, staying with Lathrop's sister, who lives near the renowned medical centre. "It's like a four-star ho- tel," says Lathrop. "There's a piano in the lobby, and people look well. You could not tell who was sick there." The Mayo Clinic took its own scans, and the couple waited to hear the results. "The doctors came in, and said 'I think we have an option,'" relates Cumming. "I still get emotional." The option was proton therapy radiation, a treat- ment the clinic had begun applying to livers just six months earlier. It's not available in Canada, and not widely available in the United States. It was now May 2017. Proton therapy, ex- plains Cumming, involves the radiation travelling through rods and hitting its target like a laser point, without damaging sur- rounding organs. In prepa- ration for the treatment, three rods Cumming likens to "giant knitting needles" were inserted into his liver. He wondered why a techni- cian was holding his hand, but no anesthetic could be used for the procedure. "Oh, my God," says Cumming, describing the pain of the insertion. But it only had to be done once, for each rod. The hour-long radiation treatments were done daily for 15 weekdays, Monday through Friday. The United States, says Cumming, has 22 proton therapy machines and the cost of the Mayo Clinic treatment facility was $350 million. The bill for his treatment was $140,000, and while he says he would have found a way to pay for it if OHIP hadn't covered it, the couple's luck would hold. To get OHIP coverage, Cumming needed three doctors to confirm he would die without the treat- ment, and his wife's three- ring binder already con- tained that information. The Mayo Clinic sug- gested a radiology oncolo- gist at Toronto's Princess Margaret Hospital, who might officially refer him to the American medical cen- tre, and they made a quick trip back to Toronto to meet with her. Cumming recalls the on- cologist said she'd previ- ously treated a 17-centi- metre tumour, but never one as large as 22 centi- metres. He got the referral, and OHIP coverage was ap- proved by Cancer Care On- tario. With the Mayo Clinic treatments, Cumming's blood work steadily im- proved as the cancer got smaller. In November 2018, he re- ceived joyous news from the Princess Margaret on- cologist. "Your liver is no longer your concern," Cumming recalls being told. His liver now has just three inches of scar tissue. "Without Amy, I couldn't have done it. I'd be dead," says Cumming. "There's no question it saved my life and I wouldn't have got it, if it weren't for Amy. I have tremendous gratitude for having gotten through it." Sometimes, people need to talk to someone who's been through it, adds Cum- ming. "If you think you're go- ing to die or you think you're going to live, you're correct."

OLG photo NEWS PICKERING - Before he was even born, Nathan Smyth's battle to heal can- cer began when his mother was diagnosed with leuke- mia. By the time he was 10 days old, she was receiving treatment at The Princess Margaret Cancer Founda- tion. Though his mother sur- vived, she was diagnosed with esophageal cancer this past December. Now, at age of 12, Smyth is an avid cancer advocate who has gone on to raise money for the cause, in- cluding a $1,000.35 dona- tion after participating in Colour to Conquer. He raised the money with the help of his school and by donating the money he earned from doing his pap- er route. "We made a page and people could donate online with a little help from my school," says Smyth. Smyth is participating in Colour To Conquer for the second time this year, adding it was his mother who encouraged him after seeing the campaign on Facebook. "Last year, I was want- ing to dye my hair and my mom had found colour to conquer on Facebook, so she said 'Nathan do you want to sign up for this?' and I said sure," says Smyth. Colour to Conquer is an initiative that urges people of all ages to dye their hair bold colours for the month of May to raise awareness and funds for cancer re- search. This year, Smyth is hoping to raise even more this year with help of his class at Maple Ridge Public School in Pickering. "I did a vote a while ago in my class and they chose purple and pink," he says, which are exactly the set of colours he dyed his hair. "I would like to give a shout out to my hair salon who donated my hair dye, Iconz in Pickering." Smyth says he's aiming to double the amount he earned last year with the help of his school and has a "personal goal" of $5,000. His efforts have even in- spired some members of his baseball team, the Pick- ering Red Sox, to join the cause. "Some people on my team wanted to support me by dyeing their hair," says Smyth. "Some did perma- nent and some did tempo- rary and they're asking their friends to donate." Smyth's father, Jeff, says he's pleased with the personal growth his son has achieved through his campaign experience and encourages others to get in- volved. "It's helped him discover his own voice through his cancer story in our family. It's been encouraging to watch him gain confidence through this process," he says. "For those people who don't have a lot of hair like me, this is still a great way to get involved by support- ing someone else or use some temporary hair (dye). It's only one time a year so you can go back to normal hair colours after that." Over 200 cities across Canada participated in the inaugural campaign last year and Smyth says he hopes more people will join the cause this year and get colourful. "It gives an immediate reaction and it's doing a fun thing for a serious cause," he says. "I want to encour- age people to get involved."

Home sales in Durham Region reached 1,075 in April 2019 representing a 16 per cent increase com- pared to 930 in April 2018. On a month-over-month basis residential transactions were up 28 per cent. The number of new listings in Durham Region was up slightly in April 2019 with 1,993 listings compared to 1,908 the same time last year. There was a substantial 23 per cent increase of new listings month- over-month in April 2019. The average days on market in Durham was 20 with a balanced 53.9 per cent Sales to New Listings Ratio (SNLR). “Strong year-over-year home sale growth indicates we are experi- encing a balanced market. More buyers are recognizing how affordable Durham is compared to other markets and how great the quality of life is in our region,” said Sorichetti. Durham Region’s average sale price reached $612,195 in April 2019. According to the index and benchmark price in April 2019, Durham has the most affordable single-family detached homes compared to neighbouring markets. Durham has a diverse housing market with a variety of options and communities for buyers. The benchmark price of a single-family detached home in Oshawa was $497,200 in April 2019. “Durham Region is an affordable market for buyers, but it is impor- tant to note many potential buyers are forced to reassess their hous- ing options as the OSFI-mandated stress test has impacted their abil- ity to qualify for the home type they need. We were pleased with the recent announcement from the provincial government addressing the housing supply issue and affordability in Ontario. The Housing Supply Action Plan (HSAP) includes several of the recommendations from the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) such as reducing development charges, promoting co-ownership, support for secondary suites and saying no to an additional Municipal Land Transfer Tax (MLTT). Home ownership should be an attainable dream for potential buyers, we are encouraged to see plans in place to make homeownership a reality,” stated Sorichetti. dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m New s A d v e r t i s e r | We d n e s d a y , M a y 2 9 , 2 0 1 9 | 10 21 Drew Street Oshawa, Ontario L1H 4Z7 193 King Street East, Oshawa, Ontario L1H 1C2 *Based on RE Stats for Firms in 2014, 2015 and 2016 Real estate FiRm FoR Combined listing and buyeR sales* in duRham Region 905.728.1600 www.REMAXJAZZ.COM OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY, JUNE 2 – 2:00 tO 4:00 PM 130 LUNNEY CRESCENt, BOWMANVILLE GREAT LOCATION IN DESIRABLE NORTH BOWMANVILLE The perfect home in the perfect location for that young family just starting out or looking to relocate.3bedrooms,2½bathsandlargefencedyardonaquietcrescent.Featuresincludeensuite bathw/jet-tub,directaccesstogarage,gasfireplaceandlotsmore.Ashortwalktonearbyschools and parks.
