How much does cancer treatment – radiation therapy, cost?
My grandma has cancer and I need to know how much does cancer radiation treatments cost?
Thank you!!
She is in Russia and I need an approximate cost of this treatment to see if I should bring her here, to the United States, Florida. She has no insurance. I just need an approximate cost to see if we can afford it or if she should do it in Russia.
Thank you!
Price is not even a consideration. If she needs radiation she should get it. Maybe she has insurance. Are you her caregiver?
I doubt anyone can give you a true price for a life. It’s different for every person who has radiation treatments.
EDIT: It will cost you a minimum of thousands and thousands of dollars if you are going to pay it yourself. You need to know more about what kind of treatment she needs. It’s impossible to give you an estimate. I think your grandmom would be better off staying in her familiar surroundings. She needs treatment. She could be getting it.
You should get your grandmother’s medical records translated and take them to a major hospital centre. The big places have an office to help international patients. You can usually get an opinion based on scans and records.
