What experiences have expats in Thailand had with cancer diagnoses and treatments?

@Carol *******

You certainly didn't get much refunded by Cigna. I gather you also would have been refunded little if anything for the surgery and chemo, hence your decision to return home?

@Sam *****

how often was the blood in urine?

@Paul ******

Cost me all up $1000 to have a cancerous spot removed from my face in Australia and got nothing back on Medicare because it is regarded as a cosmetic operation! It's precisely the sort of problem that would be better to have done in Thailand assuming that you paid significantly less than I did. I had a femoral hernia operation done in Cambodia in 2019 for $US450 because I knew I would wait 6 months back home and the condition was uncomfortable, as well as a bit dangerous to travel with in SEA. Not that any of this discussion helps answer the OP's question. My query would be does overseas health insurance cover such conditions as skin cancer or treat it as a known condition as with hernias and travel insurance.

@Ned *******

And going on a waiting list for many months before seeing a specialist then another long wait for an operation. If you have private insurance, sure it's quick and world standard. If you ar reliant on the free health system, it's not so much fun.

@Ned *******

far far from it
