My Story

1 Aug 2023

Here it is - Aug 1 2023.

Oscar passed away on Saturday July 29th at home with his family.

His family put the following tribute together:

Oscar Waugh – April 11, 2008 – July 29, 2023

Oscar’s journey with cancer began 18 months ago and ended at home last evening (July 29 2023). He was able to be in his own room and surrounded with love by our family. Through all the many scans, surgeries, biopsies, tests, needle pokes for bloodwork, IV chemotherapy, injections, PICC lines and butterflies, trips to Halifax for chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and literally thousands of pills, he never complained. Not once. His resilience, courage, optimism, grace, and determination were nothing short of remarkable. He was, just like his school basketball team, a Warrior.

This picture sums up all of those qualities. When this picture was taken, his hair was falling out (for the second time), and he was fully aware of his prognosis. Yet his smile shows inner happiness, quiet confidence, and strength. An inspiration to all who knew him, Oscar was an amazing, loving brother, a fierce friend, a joy of a son, and a kind-hearted, thoughtful, beautiful soul.

Thank you to all of you who prayed, sent us positive vibes and thoughts, dropped off food, looked after our pets, sent thoughtful cards and gift baskets, and contributed monetarily. The support from everyone (including complete strangers!) has been truly amazing…we could not have gotten through this without you. Oscar felt truly thought of, cared for, and loved.

We’d also like to thank his oncology and radiation care team at the IWK, the QEH Peds Unit, Make a Wish Foundation, the PEI Cancer Treatment Centre, and the Palliative Care Centre. We could not have had better loving and attentive care.
