| Mother in troubleLast month my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Bad news! We were, and still are, completely devastated!She still doesn´t know it, only complains about a little pain in her chest. The prescription is surgery and a lot of chemo. We want to keep her around a little longer, even if she is eighty year old. So we are thinking of taking her somewhere because the stateside fees are very high. Somebody mentioned South America, Ecuador especially, as a place where good medical attention can be had for less money. Just want to sound out the nice people on this forum for some advice. Thanks in advance, God bless you all! |
|  "Keep her around"
Did anyone ask he if they wants to be "kept around" a little longer? |
| The situation of your mother was really terrible but you know we don't really hold the lives of people. But no harm in trying if you really want your mom to stay longer despite her chronic illness. Cancer is really like a traitor so you have to expect the unexpected once you suffer from it. Medical assistance in Ecuador has improved so I think they would also do their best to save your mom. |
| Hi there! I am really sorry for the bad news you had. It is really a low esteem news to have in this stage of your life. My grand mother who had passed away last year was diagnose with TB and we were really into a great grave when she left, I think you really have to treasure your love ones in times of this. Thanks you so much to all of you guys and have a great day to all! |
| Tough call. Not too sure about South America but am sure about India. Friends of mine had surgery there after being told of the wait they had in their home country. Rather then waiting, the researched India and found a good place for not only eliminating the wait but had the same sugary for a quarter of the cost as well. Make sure you do your research though. |
| It is good to know that you guys are still holding on to your mom's life. But to think that she is now eighty years old, don't you think she needs rest than to fight cancer and be in pain in her remaining years? I am not saying that you let your mother die, just consider the remaining years she will have undergoing chemos and treatments. She's old and it would be hard for her to fight. |
