Hi insider,
How is he/she doing now? sorry for that devastating diagnosis.
Actually, in malaysia, the best place for cancer treatment is either in Govt/Semi G hospitals. the reason is that, these hospitals dealt with more cases than the private hospitals, so their doctors has more experience.
just that, some of our best consultants have transferred their practice to private and therefore, there's a scarce of consultant in govt hospital.
For me HUKM, HUSM, UMMC, HKL, Hospital Ampang have enough expertise to deal with the problem. for private, SJMC, Gleneagles and Nilai Cancer Institute are some of the famous cancer treatment center.
Just that, we have to be patient with the delay as we must also understand, in G/Semi G hospitals, there are many patients for them to attend to.
While waiting for the next appointment, why dont you go to your family physician or clinic, and notify them about his condition, who is treating doctor in HUKM and other info. so that in the meantime, while waiting for appoinment..refer your problem to this GP (general practitioner). if anything that he (the clinic Dr) founds peculiar about, he'll sure give you necessary advise or even refer ur friend to HUKM for faster admission and appointment.
just my 2 cents
