## Summary

Kristin Logan, a US Air Force veteran with stage four ovarian cancer, and her husband say they left Canada after she was offered information about medically assisted death before seeing an oncologist. They argue the experience reflected serious problems in access to cancer care and helped drive their decision to return to the United States.

Logan was diagnosed in September 2023 and made several trips to the US for treatment and emergencies, including bowel obstructions. Her husband says Canadian providers told them there was no plan to operate and advised her to leave if she could; the couple moved back to the US in May 2025. Health Canada describes MAID as a service enabling eligible people to receive medical help to end their lives, and the article reports it accounts for about one in 20 deaths in Canada.
