Stinson Surgery

Betty Selin & Starlee Speers - Vernon 105;7 SUNFM

One of the Okanagan-Shuswap's feistiest politicians is preparing for another battle. Former MP Darryl Stinson says cancer has returned five years after he was diagnosed with bladder cancer..this time it is a rare form of kidney cancer. He'll undergo surgery next month to have one kidney removed.He says the return of his cancer has given him an insider's perspective into the health care system. Stinson says governments need to be more accountable to making health care a priority. He has no complaints about the treatment he's received but knows doctors and nurses are frustrated with the system.

Stinson was MP from 1993 until 2005.
