BC Cancer Agency

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone at the Vancouver Cancer Agency. From the doctors to the CT team, the radiation therapy staff, and the front-desk reception, every single person I met was friendly, attentive, and truly professional.nnTheir patience, compassion, and thorough care made an extremely difficult time much easier to face. Words cannot fully express how thankful I am for the support and kindness they provided throughout the entire process.nnHighly recommended, and forever grateful.

We visited BC Cancer Vancouver 600 West 10th Avenue.nGood parking place for Cancer patient.nProvincial Health services Authority...nI am infinitely grateful to the Lymphoma Doctors and Nurses who work here. .....nPlease refer. 11 photos.

Our first appointment last week was clouded with anxiety and the slight confusion of navigating the location of the various departments that we needed to visit during our day appointment... One of the teams have relocated to a new office a few blocks down from this address and we were unawarenOne encounter on this day was brightened by the kindness of one of the staff members that we briefly met in the elevator. I'm unsure if he was a nurse or an orderly, but he is an asset to your agency, that is for sure.nnWe were entering the elevator, my husband is temporarily using a wheelchair, and he nearly swiped the nurse / orderly's ankle with the footrest of the wheelchair ..we apologized and he had a little laugh and pulled a little gift from his pocket and handed it to my husband..It was an adorable handcrafted origami Crane with a little led light folded into it. nnWith that he stepped out onto his designated floor, leaving us with a feeling of kindness and a sense of wonder at this little but heartwarming gift.

My partner was treated with kindness and grace. Excellent staff. Day surgery was quick and efficient. The professionalism, care and attention made a difficult day of anxiety more manageable. Thank you.

I cannot share my gratitude enough for the oncologists and nurses who work here. It feels like a second home at this point and that's because of how kind all the staff are, and how much effort they put in to make you comfortable. I never have to wait long if at all for my chemo appointments. Views are nice from most of the chemo rooms as well 6th floor. Each nurse is different and some are gentler and more attentive than others, needless to say. The blood work lab usually has a very short wait time and nurses are usually gentle. Blood transfusions have always been pleasant. The elevators can be very slow sometimes, but that's the only complaint I can think of. Thank you thank you thank you!nnIn terms of systemic issues: staff are definitely stretched and it can be hard to get someone on the phone directly you usually have to leave a message and wait for them to call you back.
