New approved Accessory Dwelling Units will help increase housing density on PEI.
ADUs are on the same lot as a single family home, eg: apartment over a garage, garden suite in the back yard. (not for short-term rentals or tourist rooms)

268 unfilled residency positions in family medicine in the CaRMS match yesterday. Highest number ever.
We have a serious problem to manage together. Why are med students not choosing a career as a family doc (best specialty ever😀)?
Many reasons - some of it is on us...🧵

11/ On June 20th I got the results of my first post-treatment CT scan. Neither of my tumors were detectable. Beside the birth of my kids, it was the most emotional day of my life. I marked the occasion with the tweet below.

12/ I've had two good follow-ups so far. My next one is two days from now. They'll run a scope down my throat. With no sign of recurrence so far, I feel more relieved after each appointment. I'm not out of the woods yet but it gets easier to deal with the uncertainty every day.
13/ As a result of the radiation treatment I have permanent dry mouth, stiff throat and neck muscles and some difficulty swallowing but it's all manageable. I've gained back all the weight I lost and my energy is back. It's time to get on with life with a new sense of #gratitude
10/ My medical care from beginning to end was top notch. Physicians, nurses, technicians, oncologists, admin staff, volunteers; everyone was professional, kind and caring. Being PEI some of these people are friends and neighbors. We even managed to have a few laughs along the way
1/ One year ago today I held my hand over the phone and whispered to my wife "I have cancer." I'd been exposed to Covid and was isolating. I couldn't go to my doctor appt so he called to tell me the bad news. Getting that news feels exactly how you'd imagine. Your head spins.
8/ Fatigue, nausea, pain, difficulty eating, weight loss, radiation burns and various side-effects from all the drugs. It was not pleasant. I was on morphine and dilaudid by April to conrol the pain. Recovery was long and slow but a year later I'm finally feeling 100% again.
7/ In February I began a grueling regimen of chemotherapy and radiation. My oncologist said "I'm not going lie it's going to be hell." Actor Michael Douglas had the same treatment which he described accurately. His tumor was HPV-related. Preferable to my squamous cell carcinoma.
6/ After I received the news a year ago, what followed was a flurry of exams, CT scans, consultations, surgery, and preparation for treatment. They found the primary tumor in the "left pyriform fossa/inferior aryepiglottic fold". It had spread from there to my lymph node.
Stage 3
