Does anyone know if they do radiotherapy for prostate cancer for foreigners there. Cheers

Dear OP,

I've tried to attach a PDF file, but it seems that the file was too big. Please check on this webpage and I think you, or the patient will be in good hands there. Best of luck.

Almost certainly: "Dr Pongsathon Soopa-atakon from Ubon Ratchathani Cancer Centre's radiotherapy department said ....." extract from an article about cancer care in Ubon/SiSaket/Yaso/Mukdahan/Amnat (http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/666379-isaan-network-hailed-as-model-for-faster-cancer-treatment/) There was also a posting by a guy on TV 6-12 months ago about him having treatment at URCCH so it would be worth googling for that

btw - I worked out that Sunphassiti Hospital referred to in the article is probably Sapphasit Hospital

You're right SantiSuk. There's no Sunphassit hospital in Ubon area.

i have been as a visitor to the cancer hospital in Ubon a few times over the years and I don't think I would like to be there as a patient. I cant comment on their procedures or standards of care but being a government hospital the place seems to be always teeming with relatives and other hangers on which is very offputting. I have also been to Sappasit hospital quite a few times visiting friends who are "imprisoned" there and there is no way that I could spend any time there recovering from an op or treatment. The swarm of people hanging around would drive me crazy. On the occasions that I have needed medical care in Thailand it has mostly been in private hospitals where you can get some personal space.

Having said all that, I see that you are still in Australia and if it was me I would continue with the treatment before you return.

Just my two cents worth.
