My father is diagnosed with Prostate cancer three years back and was on Androgen blockers for the postpone year. currently elevated PSA and focal vertebral lesions. He lives in Africa and am trying to get him treatment either in South Africa or India. Any experience on those places? he might need Radio/Chemo therapy.
Any information? : My father is... - Advanced Prostate...
Any information?
Where in South Africa does your father live?
What medications has he been prescribed up to now with PSA elevating? There may be other medications that can be prescribed once we know his current protocol.
Other than Medical Oncologist Steven Tucker in Singapore, I have no actual personal idea of the expertise of the others listed below outside of South Africa and am only provided what I am aware of location and contact. I also have no idea of the expense involved for the services of any of them. I can find “Oncologists” in South Africa if I know where your father lives, but again, I have no idea of their actual expertise when it comes to prostate cancer. That “might” be determined if the physicians are contacted by email

I am sure there may be others, but the forgoing are those for whom I am either personally aware or have been provided promising reports by prostate cancer patients.
One reason I left a wonderful life in Africa ... hadn’t been cancer, but other health issues: primitive, in adequate medical staff, what treatments? and access to any satisfactory treatment ... if treatment is available.
Even here in the United States, with Prostate Cancer ... so many patients by pass even available local cancer treatment practices (oncologists, urologists, radiation, and chemotherapy), and opt for the somewhat limited more distant locations for the best or better treatment centers centers. Even here treating cancer is a challenge: insurance (USA), cost, appointments, waiting, and services.

Aftics is not the place to be with a cancer diagnosis, and seeking or needing the best treatment and diagnostics. I would not even want to break a bone, have a heart attack, stroke, burn, dental issues, etc. in any part of Africa ... get back home to a country (your country) with the best treatment for cancer.

Best wishes! Cancer tends to change and destroy many dreams, goals, and plans one has for the future.
