  1. ....and let Donald "the Olympic champion of lies) get of the hook? In the UK, you absolutely must provide evidence to estimate and justify any compensation for alleged damage. You cannot simply claim a giant, arbitrary number and expect to receive it.
  2. Innocent until proven guilty ? No applied to the British prince?
  3. Every case if different but now that I have to spend more than one year in my home country (EU) my Thai wife took the opportunity to be checked for her back pain. An MRI showed friction on the spine between L4 and L5 but the spine specialist said this was a minor cause of pain....she was prescribed a long program of physical therapy to strengthen the muscles linked to the spine.
  4. After blood drops appeared in my urine, a cystoscopy was done in December 2023 and a BCG was done end of January 2024 but the tumor returned fast and end of May 2024 I had a cystectoscopy. Since then I live happily with a stoma (I am retired) but then end of 2024 I went for a CT scan in Thailand and it was here that a urologist paid little attention to a small bubble in the scan and he told me "never mind come back after 6 months" but after I sent the scan to a university hospital in my home country they warned me not to waste time. First I had earlier this year 25 sessions of radiotherapy without result and now I have the last 6 months immunotherapy which is showing good results.
  5. Be careful / my urologist surgeon of a leading Thai unversity hospital thougth that the small tumor shown on a CT scan was not urgent but then I sent the CT scan to a professor urology in my home country (EU) and he said it was urgent to have treatment. After more than one year I am still undergoing immunotherapy which is free of charge in my home country but would have cost a fortune in Thailand.
  6. Medical check-up in Singapore ? it would not make Thailand credible as a serious destination for "medical touris"
  7. Only a person not living in Thailand can ask this question or he or she is a moron
  8. Does anybody remember the "Peace" Conference in Munich 1938 where Hitler obtained annexation of Sudetenland the German speaking part of Czechoslovakia and British Prime Minister Chamberlain returned to London pretending that permanent "peace" had been achieved? Also here Czechoslovakia had no input....
  9. My Thai wife who follows domestic politics closely was unaware of this speech.
  10. I live at 15 minutes drive from Thammasat / your info is really important for me
  11. The number one need is pain management / my Thai wife is well educated (63 yrs old) and doing now a wonderful jog in renewing every few days the stoma bag I have now / however she has no access to powerful pain killers although she could learn to inject them / I am reluctant about a private hospital because in Thailand you are a customer more than a patient / my father died here in my home country of prostate cancer and they gradually increased the morphine and I doubt I this will be done in Thailand
  12. Thanks but the link you gave does not work / it is may-be the same institution as https://aphn.org/services/ramathibodi-palliative-care-excellent-center/
  13. Did he receive sufficient pain treatment with only one visit a week. I am not scared to die but worried about lack of care for severe pains
  14. I am 82 years old and I live in Thailand since 1987. Last year during holidays in my home country (EU) a bladder cancer was detected. Since then I have undergone TURBT, cistectomy, radiotherapy but the cancer always came back and now as a last option immunotherapy will be tried. If this does not work I would prefer to be no longer a burden for the friends where I am now staying and return to Thailand to dy in my own house. However I do not know if in Thailand there is palliative care at home What do Forum members recommend?
