The Victoria Hospitals Foundation's Emerge Stronger Campaign aims to raise $10 million for more than 200 pieces of vital medical equipment.
Severe seizures that began four years ago were making Kelly Burton’s life so uncertain that he couldn’t leave his home.
The diagnosis was epilepsy, a central-nervous system disorder. Things had built up over the previous year, Burton said.On top of having epilepsy, it was later determined that Burton had an inoperable brain aneurysm and a malignant tumour. It was all very overwhelming, he said.
“He’s a fantastic surgeon and doctor,” Burton said. “I’ve seen him a couple of times since, and it’s always such a pleasure to see him and very reassuring.A key to Burton’s cancer treatment was a nerve-monitoring system, the sort of advanced equipment that is provided through the Emerge Stronger Campaign — so-named because it will help hospitals “emerge stronger” from the COVID-19 pandemic.
His seizures have stopped and he continues to take medication to control them. He can now get out of the house.
