Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Prostate cancer is a condition that needs to be treated at the earliest. Cancer medicines are expensive and there is a requirement for long term medicine and care for years.

There are many cancer research institutes in India and I think you are from Bangalore. Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology is a tertiary cancer research hospital in Bangalore and it is a government hospital. The charges are nominal and as required. You can consult doctors there and also request the hospital management for certain services like chemotherapy, radiation therapy, laboratory and imaging to be given at concessional rate as per your financial capacity.

For medicines you can approach the oncology department and express your desire to participate in clinical trials for prostate cancer after giving your consent. These are research trials sponsored by drug manufacturers to study the response of newer medicines. If any trial is going on for prostate cancer treatment and if you fulfil the participation criteria then your chemotherapy cost can be reduced. Please do not worry.
