You're making a lot of money... if it's Uruguay, it's unfortunate but yeah, most coverage excludes oncological drugs and public healthcare is also very backed up.

Not sure if you'd have a better outcome in the US, if anything you'd be WAY poorer.

A friend whose wife had cancer ended up going to a Sao Paulo clinic.

It is a lot of money here. The sad thing is that very few people here can pay for cancer treatment. They're literally playing lottery because if they have an expensive medical emergency, there is never adequate health insurance. Most people have to do a fundraising drive to get money for stents and things like that.

What I found was that there is proper healthcare here, but it is all out of pocket. Only accessible if you can pay for the oncology drugs from the pharmacy that imports it from the US.

Otherwise you form queues waiting and waiting for the government to get hold of the drugs (it almost never does) and waiting for them or repair their radiation machines which are always broken.

I've thought about the São Paulo option and got in contact with a hospital there Sírio-Libanês.

It appears from that we'd need my family member to relocate there though, since chemo treatments are usually ongoing for years at a time.
