colorectal cancer

[fellwalker]

Just been diagnosed with transverse colon cancer at my local hospital. Did a CT scan so it’s pretty certain. 
I do not have a great deal of confidence in the general surgeon offered, I would prefer a colorectal surgeon that has some experience. 
Does anyone have advice on a decent hospital and surgeon that specialises in this condition that will not break the bank. 
I expect it will be in Bangkok.

Go to Ramathibodi Hospital and ask for Dr. Chairat Supsamutchai.

He's a very experienced surgical oncologist specialising in the GI tract.

The government side of the hospital will be cheaper and slower, but they still charge foreigners double.

The private part of the hospital is more expensive, but a fairer difference between locals and foreigners.

The surgery can also be performed the surgery in a local private hospital, after the doctor refers you himself to that other place to do the surgery himself.

 

A friend of mine is having the same surgery at Chulalongkorn Hospital for 400k.

 

Budget for 300-500k wherever it's done, and any decent hospital will only allow the properly-qualified surgeon to perform it.

 

The price will mainly depend on whether it's open or laparoscopic.

Best colorectal surgeon in Thailand is Prof. Chucheep

Also at Bumrungrad but will cost more there.

 

Bring actual CD of the scan with you
