www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, February 5, 2015 | 14 Co-worker's cancer diagnosis leads Olsen to shave her head by Herb Garbutt Oakville Beaver Staff MRI technology like you've never seen before An MRI is one of the most sophisticated technologies available in medicine today. New, advanced machines can produce scans with extraordinary image quality enabling doctors to diagnose problems that were a challenge before. It is why it is on the top of our list of equipment needs for our new hospital. Your donation will mean patients won't need to wait as long for access to a painless test that can assist physicians in diagnosing life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, stroke, and kidney disease. Nancy Olsen had done it before, but that did little to settle her nerves. Olsen shaved her head Saturday to show her support for Suntire Goodyear coworker Hugh Willis. "It took me a while to get it this long," Olsen said of her hair as her date with the clippers approached. Olsen first shaved her head 10 years ago in support of her father. This time around, while noting Willis was the main motivation, she said she knows cancer is a disease that affects many people. Her co-worker was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour, glioblastoma multiforme, last January. In May 2014, Willis was given four months to live, but after treatment, his most recent MRI came back clear. Willis was on hand to help Olsen present a cheque for $1,550 to the Canadian Cancer Society. She also donated 12-14 inches of hair to be used for wigs for patients undergoing chemotherapy treatments. "It was pretty brave of her to do this," said Willis' daughter, Jennifer. "I wouldn't be able to do it." "People come in (and Nancy Olsen has her head shaved by Eugene White in support of her co-worker, Hugh Willis, who was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour last January.
