> Certainly a lot of cancer patients died that way. This was not my experience, n=1 of course. My SO came down with lymphoma in November 2020. All of the appointments with the oncologist and all of the appointments for treatment took place at a cancer center dedicated to treating cancer patients. Other procedures generally took place at locations that did not offer emergency services (think biopsies and port installation). At no point during diagnosis or treatment were we turned away nor did we face long wait times. This was before the vaccine was available, so everyone was unvaccinated at the time. The biggest barrier was getting seen for "a weird pain in my back that is preventing me from sleeping" without going through the emergency room and contracting COVID while waiting.
