Traveling for Cancer Treatments
Cancer is one of the top ten causes of death in the world. There are approximately 1.2 million new cases of the top ten most common types of cancer in the U.S in 2013 and an estimated 190,000 deaths.
Current common treatments include Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, Targeted Therapy, and Transplantation. Some of these treatment methods have serious and painful side effects such as anemia, peripheral neuropathy, lymphedema, infections, and even second cancers or death.
These typical methods can also be very costly.
There are many paths you can take to find the right treatment for you. You can take the medical opinion your physician recommends, you can get a few different opinions or you can research other alternative methods.
Global Health Care provides an option to travel to some of the top cancer facilities in the world and receive the best care possible while reducing cost. Settling for local care is not always the best option nor the most cost-effective. Medical travel gives you the opportunity to visit facilities with high success rates and excellent service.
Several treatments that may not be available to you locally or are a high-cost treatment, are sure to be offered at another location with better financial possibilities. When faced with a cancer diagnosis, you may feel extreme sadness, anger, stress, and worry, which may go on to develop depression.
Discovering the many options that are presented around the globe will help determine the correct treatment for you.
Medical travel is a great way to help alleviate some of these symptoms. Having the certainty that you have explored other options and knowing that you are receiving treatment from some of the best physicians internationally, definitely gives you peace of mind in the midst of the situation.
