“The choice was very difficult. The nurse at the CLSC who took me in was the resource who helped me the most. On the other hand, the social worker to whom I was referred didn’t really help me think through what was happening to me. I felt judged and left to my own devices. Having to travel 300 km to obtain access to the procedure caused a lot of stress and I had to talk to people to get help (I have other children who needed to be looked after while I was away, especially as I could not drive back by myself). I had no follow up afterwards other than with my family doctor. I had to go to a private-sector resource for help, as I felt the need a few months later and not during the procedure. I participated in an experience-sharing opportunity with the Montreal Women’s Centre to talk about the experience, which was very helpful. There were no resources locally that seemed to be able to help me.” – Joe, 31
