Oncological pharmacist became cancer patient

Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express my Smith-Morris’s life was by most measures moving along beautifully. Young, fit and healthy, Smith-Morris had embarked on a great career as an oncological pharmacist with the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency, armed with an undergraduate degree from the University of Saskatchewan and a doctorate in her specialty from the University of Toronto. And she was getting married. After the September wedding, she and her husband embarked on a honeymoon in Italy and Greece for two weeks. “The perfect honeymoon,” she said. “I love food, and so does my husband, so we ate a tonne of pizza; tonnes of wine. We had a really great time. So when I came back, I had gained some weight. Go figure; pizza twice a day, that’s going to happen. “But then the weight gain kind of continued. Even though I got back to my regular schedule, I kept gaining weight. I was a bit bloated; it was pretty marginal, though. But it just never went away. It was a bit tender to the touch. It wasn’t anything I was overly alarmed about.” But she just wasn’t feeling right. “My number one symptom was I had really bad heartburn. The worst heartburn ever; I couldn’t eat anything. I was taking Tums all the time, so I kind of thought I had an ulcer.” Wondering if planning her wedding had created enough stress to cause an ulcer, she went to her family doctor, who originally thought she might be pregnant based on how her abdomen looked. That was quickly ruled out. She had an ultrasound very soon after the appointment, and was informed that she had an ovarian tumour. Because of her age, now 30, it was unlikely to be malignant. But it was. Surgery followed, and then chemotherapy. “From the time I started having symptoms, to the time I saw my GP, was about two weeks. Everything really escalated quite quickly,” she said. “I was diagnosed around Remembrance Day, had my surgery Nov. 25 and started chemo in December.” (Continued on page 6)

Q: My parents are getting older. How do I bring up the topic of planning their funeral? A: The conversation can be tricky and it may take a couple of tries. You could ease your way in by mentioning recent events. Then ask: “Mom, Dad – have you given any thought to your final arrangements?” You don’t have to rush this talk, but you shouldn’t wait until it’s too late either because pre-planning will make the event easier for everyone.

Country Music Week
Saskatoon’s Louis O’Reilly honoured to be finalist
Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express otashCorp Country Music Week is set to take place in Saskatoon from Sept. 7 to Sept. 10 — and it’s expected to be an exciting few days for Canadian musicians, industry professionals and fans alike. The much-anticipated 2017 Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) Awards Show — which is scheduled for Sept. 10 at SaskTel Centre — will cap off the big week. The show will be broadcast on CBC and is open to the public. Tickets range from $42 to $120. “The CCMA weekend is the biggest and most important gathering of Canadian country music in Canada,” said Louis O’Reilly, a Saskatoon resident who is nominated for Record Company Person of the Year. “All the big artists — Canadian artists — are there, because they are hoping to win one of the coveted awards. It has a long history. I’d put it up there with the JUNOs in terms of significance. Winning a CCMA Award means something. “All the right industry people are there — the heavy hitters and the business (people) are there, and there’s also a very good component and stream for up-and-comers. There’s discovery showcases; there are seminars. There’s mentorship; there’s breakout sessions. It’s the best place, if you want to have a career in Canadian country music, to learn, connect and grow.” The roots of Country Music Week date back 40 years, with the aim of increasing exposure for Canada’s country music artists. The week is comprised of three components: a music festival, an industry conference and the CCMA Awards Show. Country Music Week moves around to various Canadian host cities and was last held in Saskatoon in 2012. In addition to O’Reilly, another Saskatoon resident is vying for CCMA recognition. Bart McKay is nominated for Keyboard Player of the Year and Recording Studio of the Year (Bart McKay Productions). O’Reilly is certainly no stranger to the awards scene.
George Canyon, Aaron Pritchett, Emerson Drive, Brett Kissel and Charlie Major. “It’s fun to work with creative people. They’re inspirational; they’re hard working,” he said. “I think I get the greatest satisfaction seeing the fan response to artists, seeing the joy that’s exchanged between the artist singing the song and the fans being caught up in listening and singing to one of their favourite songs — and also the joy that the artist gets in response to that exchange of art and feelings and joy and emotion. It’s pretty special.” (Continued on page 7)

Louis O’Reilly has been nominated for Record Company Person of the Year. (Photo Supplied) His previous CCMA wins have included Record Company Person of the Year, Manager of the Year and Record Label of the Year. “I’ve been nominated several times, and it’s nice to be recognized for your hard work by your peers,” he said. O’Reilly said he will be “forever grateful” to Brad Johner and The Johner Brothers, whom he credits with giving him his start in Canadian country music after inviting him to manage them more than a decade ago. O’Reilly then became vice-president of the Penticton, B.C.-based Invictus Entertainment about three years ago after running his own artist management company and music label. He said “it’s been a wonderful partnership ever since.” In his current role, O’Reilly oversees the artist management, record label and publishing divisions and has worked with well-known musicians such as Jess Moskaluke will perform at the CCMA Awards Show.

of Canada and ordering the execution of Thomas Scott, a political opponent. His cause may have been just, but in today’s world would such violent actions be lauded? Riel was a man of his times, and although his violent actions can’t be condoned by today’s standards, they may well have been in keeping with the times. But what would have happened to the Metis nation without him? I could go on about Prime Minister Robert Borden’s incarceration of Ukrainian immigrant boys and men in forced labour camps during the First World War and the hardship and abuse these victims suffered. They did nothing wrong. They came to homestead the west, fleeing the very enemy Canada was fighting. And what about the shameful abuse of the Chinese during the construction of the national railways. Several prime ministers wear that shame. Going one step further, are the churches that participated in the residential schools program a constant reminder to First Nations of the horrendous damage done to their culture and the offspring of the victims? Should they be eliminated from our cityscape as they are icons of a shameful wrong-doing? It wasn’t just the churches that were guilty, it was the bulk of society that sanctioned the development of the residential
school program. Pick any honoured historic political figure that flits across your mind, examine him/her closely and not one will be without sin. Should we remove the paintings of past prime ministers from the House of Commons because every one of them has a past that was not perfect? Our problem is that we want to judge our historic figures based on today’s supposedly enlightened standards and without thought to the social norms (good and bad) of the era. Instead of an “out of sight, out of mind” philosophy, maybe we should be guided by the saying “you either learn from history or you are doomed to repeat it.” (A retired teacher friend of mine recently said those Ontario teachers missed what is called a teachable moment. She is right.) It will be interesting to see how today’s society will be judged down the road. Will our great-grandchildren want to deny their provincial roots because not long ago we were labelled “the Mississippi of the North?” We can only hope they look at the big picture and not just a snapshot.

Women encouraged to advocate strongly for themselves (Continued from page 1) Because it was a fast-growing tumour and because of her young age, it was important to remove it very quickly. “Sept. 24 was our wedding, and I wore a mermaid style dress, fitted in the bodice. You wouldn’t know anything was wrong. Almost two months later to the day, I’m having a tumour removed the size of a football.” The tumour measured 21 by 10 centimetres, and proved to be a rare form of ovarian cancer. “That typically works against you, but in my case, it worked in my favour,” said Smith-Morris over coffee. “The most common kind of ovarian cancer is an epithelial tumour. It’s usually women older than 50 with ovarian cancer have this kind of tumour, and the survival rate for that is 37 per cent at five years. It’s very deadly. “The type of tumour I had has a much better prognosis. I have a 90 to 95 per cent chance of surviving to five years. It’s more responsive to the chemo that they offer.” She started chemo Dec. 19 and finished her last cycle at the beginning of March, going every day for five days, several hours per visit, then two weeks off before the next treatment. It was incredibly exhausting, she said, and the fatigue some months later continues. “I need quite a bit of stamina (at work).
You’re on your feet a lot, you’re talking with people a lot. The fatigue you feel with chemo, I never appreciated it before. I’d say (to patients) drink more water, get more exercise; that will help with the fatigue. But that’s not going to cut it. “It’s not fatigue as in, ‘oh my gosh, I’m so tired.’ It’s fatigue like ‘I couldn’t possibly move my body.’ To overcome that, it takes time.” Smith-Morris is sharing her story in advance of the upcoming national Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope. She has previously been involved in cancer-related fundraising events, notably the Pink Wig Foundation gala in April, and has participated in the Terry Fox Run. The local Walk for Hope is planned for Sept. 10 at Windy Acres (see http://bit.ly/2wkKXbS for more details or to donate.) The 2.5 or five kilometre walk/run hopes to raise funds for advocacy, awareness and research into what’s often called the silent killer. Ovarian cancer is extremely difficult to diagnose, and normally only found after a women exhibits symptoms. When asked for advice on detecting ovarian cancer, Smith-Morris noted that it’s a very difficult disease to catch in early stages. “The symptoms I had were not all that alarming to me,” said Smith-Morris. “The symptoms were very non-specific and quite subtle.”

She is not sure if even an annual pelvic exam would have helped provide an earlier diagnosis. This is why further research is crucial. “It happened so quickly,” she said. “It’s so difficult. Let me compare it to prostate cancer. Prostate cancer has a blood marker called the PSA level. If your PSA level is rising, it doesn’t necessarily indicate that you have prostate cancer but it’s a sign. You can do this in your regular bloodwork. “Ovarian cancer has nothing like that. There’s nothing you can really look at that will point you in that direction at all. It’s really symptom based. It feels a bit archaic that way, when we’re relying on women to say, I’m a bit distended; I think I might have ovarian cancer. When are you not a bit bloated once in a while? “I’m a big supporter of more research. I really think that’s what this area needs. There’s lots of money being filtered into other tumour sites, and comparatively, the money for ovarian cancer is not as much. “I would like to see more efforts put in there. I do research as well, and (I know) it’s tough for a researcher to justify spending their efforts in a certain area when there’s no funding to support them. Researchers are going to go where the funding is, because they need to sustain themselves. “Hopefully, we find a blood marker of some kind, something like that that would
help more with the diagnosis. The onus is completely on women going to their doctor and complaining.” Her other piece of advice is for women to advocate strongly for themselves. “I was quite assertive in making sure my ultrasound appointment was booked, very quickly, and my CT scan was booked very quickly. I was having to be my own advocate. “ Once the CT scan is done, it can provide information that can lead to identifying blood markers that help determine what kind of tumour it might be; but the blood markers are non-specific, she said. If the markers are elevated, it doesn’t mean you have cancer; they may point to inflammation, for example. Therefore, they are not useful to diagnosis. She has not yet returned to work, and plans her life carefully around the fatigue she is experiencing, but she hopes to be back reasonably soon. “I’ve always found pharmacy really interesting, especially from the cancer aspect. The drugs are constantly evolving. They’re working in really fascinating ways. We have a lot of targeted therapies now that are looking at specific receptors on a cancer cell. It’s really scientific. I always found that really interesting. “People with cancer are just really kind people, when they’re being treated. If you work at a (regular pharmacy) people are

TAMMY ROBERT
Country Music Week (Continued from page 3) When asked what he finds appealing about country music, O’Reilly noted “the kindness of the format.” “I like the fact that it’s not about bravado; it’s not about boastfulness. It’s about humility. It’s about kindness. It’s about connecting with your fans. It’s about releasing a song that has a story or meaning to it,” he said. “Certainly, there are lots of beer drinking, tailgate country songs, but it seems to me that a really good country song has impact.” O’Reilly also has some advice for country music artists who are just starting out: Hit songs make hit artists. “You need to have a base level of talent; you need to have a base level of performance ability. But if you don’t have hit songs — and a hit song is a song that people like — you’ll never have a career,” he said. “You may think you have the greatest songs in the world, but it’s the
public that decide in the end.” If you’re a fan looking for an opportunity to see some hit artists during the week, the John Deere Green Carpet may be the place for you. It will be open to the public outside of SaskTel Centre from 2:45 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. on Sept. 10. Nominated artists, performers and presenters are expected to walk the carpet and interact with fans and members of the media. The event is free to attend. The CCMA Awards Show will then run from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. There will be performances by Gord Bamford with Jim Cuddy, Dean Brody, Chad Brownlee, Tim Hicks, High Valley, James Barker Band, Brett Kissel, Madeline Merlo, Jess Moskaluke, Meghan Patrick, Dallas Smith and The Washboard Union. The international guests will be Blake Shelton and Brett Young. For more information, go online to ccma.org.

(Continued from page 8) “The amazing thing about David,” said Griffith, “is that he never does the same thing twice. He brings different artists with him each time. This year, it’s like an international lineup with Mike Murley on sax, Anders Mogenson on drums and Johnny Aman on bass. Each are leaders in their own right.”
Songbird Laili Biali came to the club on short notice for a Sunday afternoon concert last spring but is back again with a concert on Nov. 9. The Saskatoon Musicians Association will be holding an Oct. 5, gala, featuring the Ray Elliot Trio, Heidi Munro and the RealGroovyBand, Brad Johner, Marlin Harder and Autopilot, and Martin
Janovsky. A new twist in Saskatoon scheduling is an Octo-Beer-Fest, featuring The Heidelberg Band and Sylvia Bender on Oct. 28. It will serve as a fundraiser for the society, with money going towards the erection of a street-level LED introductory sign at the entrance. Kenny Marco, a guitarist who once
played with Blood, Sweat and Tears, and a regular on the Saskatoon scene for years, will make his first Bassment appearance on Dec. 29 and Theresa Sokyrka, the Canadian Idol finalist, will be the opening act. Solstice, the vocal jazz group, will be the Christmas concert attraction on Dec. 16 and Griffith will lead his three groups through a New Year’s Eve romp on Dec. 31.
There’s good YXEATS in Riversdale this week Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express askatoon’s Riversdale area has a diverse and delicious dining scene, and that culinary creativity will be celebrated this week during YXEATS 2017 Food and Drink Festival. Sponsored by The Commercial Group, the third annual event is set to run from Sept. 6 to Sept. 10. The five-day festival will feature 11 participating restaurants, as well as other restaurants that will take part in some of the festival’s ticketed events. “You can stop in and check out the vibe of each of the participating restaurants in Riversdale,” said Barbi Petersen of The Black Door Events, which was hired by the Riversdale Business Improvement District (RBID) to plan YXEATS. “It’s not something that you go to a street and all of the restaurants are set up on one street. You actually get to go and enjoy each restaurant in its own location. So that’s really fun – because if you haven’t been to those restaurants, really one of the main things about YXEATS is encouraging people to come on down, return to your favourite restaurant (or) try out one you’ve never tried out before. “Or, because the restaurants introduce unique menus that are featured for the first time during YXEATS, it gives you a chance to try out something new at one of your favourite restaurants you might go to very frequently in Riversdale,” she added. One of the main components of YXEATS is the unique menus that are only available during the duration of the festival (go online to www.yxeats. com/yxeateries/ for menu information). The set-price menus – which range from $10 to $25 — feature everything from appetizers to full-course meals, said Petersen. There are also options available

early versions of Crest toothpaste – with fluoride. His efforts were largely to no avail as the decay usually won the battle in our rotten teeth. There were dire warnings about how long we would keep our teeth and my sister was told she’d be lucky to have her teeth at 50. On her 50th birthday, she tracked Dr. Shields down in a nursing home to tell him she still had the teeth she was born with. He was delighted. As for me, it’s truly been dental “rock and roll” for a lifetime, starting way before I was an eight-year-old on the bus going to see Dr. Shields with the monthly payment for the family account safety-pinned in my pocket until now when I’m still “enjoying” adventures in dentistry. Sometimes, I believe that I have experienced every dental procedure invented in the history of the profession – from mercury fillings to titanium implants. Some “events” are unforget-
languages). After the procedure, I was giddy with relief and off my head from the drugs. I decided I would return on the subway to where I was working, not exactly the wisest decision in a city that was totally foreign to me. When I got home to Alberta, I was a basket case about the completion of the root canal nerve treatment and refused to allow Ian Miller (my then dentist) to seal off the tooth for months. In retaliation, Ian (fearing the infection) made me take designer antibiotics that I threw up in the ditch on my way to work. You honestly haven’t lived until you partake of high-tech Swiss dentistry, the inventors of the implant — dentistry so expensive that many native Swiss go to Hungary to have their teeth worked on. Reciprocally, the Hungarian dentist rents space from Swiss dentists to do follow-ups. Go figure. Switzerland was also the first time that I had to sign an affidavit (in German) that I would agree to be sued for non-payment of a dental bill. I happily signed; when you are desperate, you’ll sign almost anything. The fun never seems to end. Last week I chipped a piece off a front tooth. My regular dentist was unavailable for the emergency repair, but he had recently hired a new Dalhousie grad and she was up for the job. Pretty quickly I was wearing the sunglasses and Dr. Suh and her assistant were busy-beavering with the drilling, rinsing and suctioning. Very soon, I was literally under water – water all over my table including spending every day at 3 face and down my neck from what felt p.m. in the dental clinic at the University like a garden hose gone amok.

Jordan Walls is the Hilltops’ starting quarterback after learning the ropes from Jared Andreychuk. (Photo by Darren Steinke) Darren Steinke Saskatoon Express ordan Walls is applying what he has learned as understudy to Saskatoon Hilltops quarterback Jared Andreychuk. He watched Andreychuk, who has graduated from the program, lead the Hilltops to three straight Canadian Junior Football League (CJFL) championships. Coming out of Saskatoon’s Tommy Douglas Collegiate, Walls was aware players don’t normally step in and become the starting quarterback with the Hilltops. He knew he could eventually be the starter if he worked hard in practices and made the most of the chances he received in games. Walls said Andreychuk was a good role model. “He was always calm,” said Walls. “He never got too excited. He never got
J
too down. He handled himself in pressure moments very well. He just knew how to handle it and how to make the big time throws. “I think when you watch from the sidelines you learn to see the game from a different view. You get to learn behind Jared (Andreychuk), which was good for me and good for my development.” During the regular season in 2016, Walls completed 24 of 31 attempts for 245 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions when he stepped onto the field during mop up duty. This season, Walls has come out of the gates hot completing 49 of 80 pass attempts for 700 yards, six touchdowns and one interception helping the Hilltops start 3-0. He had the Hilltops up by large margins in their past two wins allowing him to give way to backups for mop-up action.

Hilltops head coach Tom Sargeant said Walls entered the season ready to lead the offence. “We are excited,” said Sargeant. “Jordan is the guy. He has done everything that we’ve asked him to do. He can make all the throws and all the reads. He’s just got to keep playing. We have to get him in good situations and good calls. “He has a real strong arm and is accurate. Our job is just to give him a better understanding of what he needs to do and how he needs to do it. When that takes place, you’re going to see this offence blossom, and we anticipate making a lot of plays this year.” Walls said he is working on his vision on the field. “It is getting there,” said Walls, who stands five-foot-nine and weighs 180 pounds. “Obviously, we have a lot of talented players on this offence, and they get open and they find the holes. “You get a guy like (running back) Logan Fischer or (receiver) Sam Mike, they make your job pretty easy.” Walls saw the game of football in a different light this spring when he became the offensive co-ordinator of the powerhouse Saskatoon Valkyries of the Western Women’s Canadian Football League. He was also the club’s quarterbacks coach, entrusted with helping Valkyries talented sophomore quarterback Alex Eyolfson. With the Valkyries having an elite program guided by head coach Pat Barry and defensive co-ordinator Jeff Yausie, who is the Hilltops defensive co-ordinator, Walls found a lot of what he learned in his coaching role could be transferred over to the field guiding the Hilltops as quarterback. “You see it from a different point,” said Walls. “You get to coach with great coaches. Jeff Yausie and Pat Barry, those guys have been around for ages coaching, so to sit down in the meeting rooms with them and kind of hear what they have to say really helped with understanding situations and what defences are trying to do here and there. That helped a lot.” The Hilltops return to action on Sept.
9, when they host their provincial rivals the Regina Thunder (2-1) at 7 p.m. at Saskatoon Minor Football Field. Saskatoon took the first encounter with the Thunder 37-20 at new Mosaic Stadium back on Aug. 12. The Hilltops are on a quest to become the first team to win four straight championships in the history of the CJFL, which dates back to 1908. Saskatoon won three straight CJFL titles on two other occasions — from 2002 to 2004 and 2010 to 2012. “It is daunting, I guess, when you start to look at the big picture of it,” said Walls. “Obviously, no one has ever done it, and we’ve had a few chances in the past to do it as the Hilltops. “I think you have to take it game by game and week by week, and slowly work your way towards it. They are not going to be handing out the Canadian Bowl next week, so we know that and we have to stay patient.” (You can see more of Darren Steinke’s work in his online blog stankssermon. blogspot.ca.)

• Rolfsen, on Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers being suspended for seven games: “That will hurt his quest to reach the 15 home-run mark.” • What would have made the Hamilton Tiger-Cats think hiring Arthur Briles was a good idea? Maybe June Jones didn’t think Canada had cable news and the Internet. • Where is Eric The Red Tillman in all of this? • Hough, on Boston’s Logan Airport considering charging fees to drivers who drop off or pick up passengers: “Airlines are incensed. Mostly that they didn’t think of it first.” • Chong, on the Detroit Lions making Matthew Stafford the highest paid player in the history of the NFL: “Five years for $135 million? The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have just removed him from their short list.” • Sportsnet’s Arash Madani was way out of line when he tweeted that women working for the CFL could have raised their voices to help stop the Briles hiring. Not only was that stupid to say, but as many pointed out, Madani had a working holiday in Vegas where he covered Floyd (The Women Beater) Mayweather’s win over Conor McGregor. • From Rolfsen: “Roughly 20,000 Irish fans were in Las Vegas for McGregor-Mayweather — probably in about 1,000 hotel rooms.” • Vic Rauter’s take on Scotiabank now having naming rights to the home of the Leafs: “3.

That’s still longer than
most L.A. football fans.” • It drives me bonkers when broadcasters say something like this: “The New York Rangers are going to retire Jean Ratelle’s number. He’s the second highest goal scorer in Rangers history.” How about saying, “He’s the second highest goal scorer in Rangers history, behind only Rod Gilbert?” Much better, yes?

Rogers tribute band brings its love to town Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express arty Edwards remembers being backstage with Kenny Rogers. Rogers asked Edwards, who looks and sings like the iconic performer, to do him a favour. “He said, ‘Don’t go out and get me into trouble.’” Rogers laughed, but Edwards took the words to heart and has treated Rogers’ name and music with respect. The iconic performer had watched Edwards and his Rogers tribute band’s performance at a motorcycle rally in Billings. Rogers liked it enough to invite Edwards to his show a couple of nights later. “It was surreal for me,” Edwards said in a telephone interview from British Columbia last week. “It was surreal being in the same room with him and chatting for a little bit.” For the past two decades, Edwards has toured the world in Rogers’ persona. He will perform here on Sept. 13 at the Broadway Theatre. Edwards fell into the career almost by accident. It started with a song he wrote and recorded for his wife. “I didn’t tell her I was doing it. We went to a nice golf and country club that we used to go to and dance once in a while. It was a very casual, laid back type of place and I asked if they would play it for me sometime during the evening. We were up dancing and they played it. “My wife says, ‘Gosh that guy sounds a lot like you.’ I said, ‘Well there is a reason why.’ I enjoyed the process of doing it so much that I went back in and recorded an album.” The co-producer of the album was James Bowers. “One night we are doing mix downs
M
and talking about the business itself and I said to him, ‘I’m thinking about doing some performances. I’ve really been getting the bug again.’ And James said, ‘Have you ever thought of doing a Kenny Rogers tribute?’” Edwards said he hadn’t, but had included Rogers songs in some of his shows. It helped that Edwards looks like Rogers, but always a decade younger. Rogers is 79 and Edwards 68. Edwards didn’t think a whole lot about the conversation with Bowers until about a year later. “My wife and I put together a benefit show to raise money for abused kids and I did some covers and some original material from my album. Just to fill it out I thought maybe I should put the Kenny Rogers thing in and I will do two or three Kenny Rogers songs.” A new career was launched that night. “It blew up; it just mushroomed and has taken me around the world. I’m living a dream. I love the performing, the singing . . . I feel so blessed to be able to do it.” Edwards’ dream turned into a nightmare on Jan. 6, 2016. That was the day he was told he had colon cancer. He said it was prior to a tour in Australia when he went for a checkup. He’d been tired but thought maybe age was catching up with him. There was cancer in three places, plus a blockage. He was told to get his affairs in order and a specialist would determine how long he had to live. He waited three weeks to see the specialist. “I sat down and said, ‘My wife is my life, but I live to entertain. I’m a performer and (would be grateful) even if I could do it one more time.’ He looked at my charts and goes, ‘Well I see no reason why you can’t do that unless you sing

I was in for a checkup this past February and everything is good. The key to it was it was caught before any of the cancer had broken through the colon wall. “Because of that I have become a real evangelist for early detecting and I mention it at my shows. I mention it because that is my mission. I have to get the word out there. I don’t dwell on it but I make it known.” Part of the proceeds from Edwards’ show in Saskatoon will go to cancer initiatives.

Although they won’t perform all their favourite hits, they will certainly get a good cross-section of the top ones from Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton and duets. A woman named Wendy T does the Dolly Parton part of the show. She and Edwards have worked a lot together.
