    Hiya Cancer Beauties,

    I was diagnosed 2 days ago. I am currently living/ working in a conflict zone aboard. There are no treatment centers here. So I will need to travel. I am blessed to have insurance which will cover me. My dilemma or challenge is the coverage is much much better if I seek surgery and treatment internationally than at home in the US. Of course, like everyone, I want the best. I am feeing overwhelmed by searching internationally. Financially it is a much better decision for me abroad. I do have a couple friends who are willing to fly out and stay with me for a bit, as well, so I have some support being away from home.

    Anyone know of any good facilities that would also be adaptable to an english speaking patient. I know they exist! And as much as I know there are awesome facilities in the US, I know there must also be some just as good abroad.

    Thank you in advance.

    Thank you so much for the info. I wasn't sure about that forum, because it says it's for Non-English speakers. And I am a US citizen and english is my primary language. I will post the request there as well.

    Grateful to find this site.

    Hugs,

    Shannon
