Try the Health Forum maybe.

Good idea, thank you!

When talking about oncology, can someone, please. help me with some medication prices, please? They can be checked in hospital, I suppose. Unfortunately, I can't go there.

HERCEPTIN 440MG, PERJETA 420MG, ALECENSA 150/240, ZELBORAF 240/56, KEYTRUDA 100MG, OPDIVO 10ML, TECENTRIQ 1200MG

Can someone check these prices for me, please? At least, some of them. You will really help.

Thank you all!

Hi,

Update time.

Saw oncologist Professor Sudsawat at Bangkok hospital on 4th. She said that they would not normally recommend chemo for my 1a stage cancer, but she wanted to check that it was not small cell so needed some extra staining tests and discussion with her team.

Went back on 18th and results were good. Not small cell, just adenocarcinoma. So no need for chemo, just need to have regular check ups. Surgeon said I was very lucky and it's thanks to my GI doctor at Pattaya who checked every possible thing. She probably saved my life. 

Lucky I don't need the chemo since my insurance is used up until 90 days from last visit. Will see surgeon again then for CT scan and oncologist for blood tests.

Huge relief!

Just to relief you even more, the worldwide known US Cancer protocol by NCCN does not recommend any chemo nor radiotherapy for Stage IA non-small cell lung cancer. Be it IA1, IA2 or even IA3. It only recommends now to visit a doctor and to have a CT chest (with contrast, if possible) every 6 months for the next 2-3 years. And a yearly doctor + low-dose CT w/o contrast afterwards. So, be healthy!

Oh yes. Lots of oncologists here mate.

Get yourself down to the nearest hospital and talk to the pharmacist. 

Stupid question

Well, kind of answer, thanks)

Unfortunatelly, patients are aware of this a bit more, than oncologists are. That's why Im asking here. And just now I have no any way to "get myself down to the nearest hospital", that's exactly the reason I use this forum in order to check the issue. Thanks anyway.
