Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
It will help to know what stage of cancer your uncle is having. If there is stage 1 or 2 cancer then complete recovery and cure is possible. For stage 3 or 4 cancer, doctors might have to give chemotherpy and radiation therapy to extend his survival.
Cancer treatment might get expensive due to the cost of medicines and investigations and surgery if required. You might approach many cancer societys and also enquire at Adiyar institue if there is a possibility of enrollling him to a drug trial where medicines might be provided as a part of treatment research at low cost. Such trials also provide free investigations to the patient as a part of the protocol. Please do not worry.
