    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Stéphanie Alain was screaming for joy on Wednesday afternoon after receiving a call from her doctor.

    Alain’s been waiting for this opportunity for months, after Quebec’s health insurance board (RAMQ) refused to cover part of the cost associated with the treatment.

    The treatment is the only hope for recovery for the 31-year-old, who was diagnosed with alveolar soft part sarcoma last year — a rare cancer that has since spread to her lungs.

    Relieved that the waiting game is over, Alain, who is mother to a four-year-old, is getting ready to pack her bags.

    Saleh says the support offered to Alain over the past few weeks has been encouraging because people have connected to her story.

    She says she will be renting a place to stay for a couple of weeks at a time to receive the treatment before returning to her family back home in Rouyn-Noranda, Que.
