DELTA, B.C. Patients at a hospice in Ladner fear the final days and weeks of their lives may be disrupted by a dispute between facility management and Fraser Health. “How can I fight for my life with all of this going on?” asked 78-year-old Cecil Hardy from his bed at the Harold and Veronica Savage Centre for Supportive Care. Hardy has a terminal case of sarcoma, and after weighing his options, chose to live out his final days in hospice. “I certainly don’t want to leave here,” he told CTV News Vancouver. “I’m trying to fight and extend my life for my kids. I want to live as long as I can for them. And then I’ve got to worry about this?”
