You expect to see your neighbours outside on the street where you live.
But what happens when you meet them in the cancer ward, and you're
all wearing matching hospital gowns?
That's what happened to award-winning
filmmaker Gerry Rogers,
who was in hospital for her second mastectomy.
Directly across the hall was Leida Finlayson with melanoma,
and just
up the corridor was Ken Hickey with a rare form of pancreatic cancer.
It turns out they all live just a few doors from each other on Pleasant
Street.
