Has anyone moved to Thailand as a cancer survivor?
Hello. My husband and I are considering moving to Thailand. We have a decent nest egg for our age and he would continue to work with the DTV Visa. I may also try to supplement our income with consulting as well so we don't have to touch our investments for the next few years until we hit 1million net worth in a few years. We've traveled to Thailand extensively and even got to see the medical care first hand after I had an accident. Personally, I think it's even better than the US system for many things. But the one thing I am unsure of is that I previously had breast cancer. I am cancer free for the past 2 years. I worry that this will disqualify me for international insurance coverage since it is a pre-existing condition, and if the cancer comes back (about 1 in 4 chance), will we have enough to cover treatment? I would love to hear from other cancer survivors who have moved abroad and if they were able to get treatment or if they had to move home if the cancer came back. I know Thailand has great cancer treatment facilities, so I am not worried about the quality of care, just if I can afford it if my cancer returns. At the same time, it is because I had cancer at such a young age that I want to experience life to the fullest while I am still here.
