No, not me!
But my neighbor's wife has breast cancer. I know little detail. We just greet and since I found out, I asked once or twice politely "how is she doing". That has been very gracefully received by the family.
A month or so ago, It seemed things were looking brighter. Apparently they had removed a breast and she had been released home.
But today, I ran into her husband, him himself not looking very good... she is NOT doing well at all and scheduled for new chemo. More cancer! He said "it's life... we'll probably won't be neighbors much longer as we'll be putting the house up for sale soon if that's what it takes".
I don't want to "open the door" to any hopes of monetary aid from me... and I right now, I have no reason to believe that this would be their hopes.
But, I've been thinking. And I seem to remember previous "cancer" threads where CUBA was mentioned as a possible alternative for Dominicans to get treatment.
Does anybody know, if that is a real possibility and IF so, how Cuba is to be approached, how much or how little the cost(s) may be?
After some extensive search, I finally managed to find a web page of Cuba's consulate in Santo Domingo: Datos de la Embajada de Cuba en la RD
But have not found anything about any health or aid program for non-Cubans.
... J-D.
