Need Advice and comments from Canadians
Hi all,
We are in a dilemma right now due to an assignment at my husbands workplace.
We are currently based close to Boston. He has been asked to move and work from a place called Missisauga (suburb of Toronto) for one year for some assignment. During this time he wouldbe on Canadian payroll and as we already have a Permanent Residency from Canada so we would have the government insurance and some extra private insurance given by my husbands company.
Currently I am on Herceptin and have already done 1.5 years of Herceptin and my 2 years would be done in May 2007.
How good is the Canadian Medical system? Though we have a permanent residency from Canada, we have nevr lived there so we do not have medical cards from there. Does anyone know that if we move there, then could the Canadian government refus to give me medical benefits as they might say that I got breast cancer and now I am moving to Canada with a pre existing condition.
I am just confused and am scared what would happen to my treatment plan which was going fine in the US.
Also next year Tykerb would be launched, will it get launched in Canada at the same time?
Who is a good and open oncologist ion Toronto area?
Please provide your comments and help.
Regards,
Rupali
