Quay Kelly: Chest Infection and Work Visa

quay kelly: Originally she had a cough that sounded like a cold, but it wouldn't go away, said Emma Kelly, who lives with Bennett on Queen's Quay, according to Metro News. Kelly said her housemate, who lost both her parents at a young age, came to Canada on a work visa some 18 months ago. That's the harsh reality faced by Irishwoman Leeanne Bennett, 27, who was in the process of pursuing her Canadian permanent residency when she received a shock lung cancer diagnosis in recent weeks. She was lucky the disease was spotted, after doctors in Canada and Ireland where she had briefly returned for a holiday initially diagnosed a chest infection and bronchitis, respectively. In the end, she was babysitting for a family friend here in Canada who happens to be a doctor, and they pushed her to get tested quicker. She was planning to wait for further tests in January 2018.
