can anyone tell me how hard or expensive it is to receive cancer treatment in India

can anyone tell me how hard or expensive it is to receive cancer treatment in India?
I am an American with no insurance and self employed. I make a decent living but am not able to cover costs of the care i need as i have leukemia. I have been considering finding a country to move to that might be affordable and progressive in cancer research. India seems the place that would be appropriate as far as cancer treatment. However i can not find anyone who can or is willing to help me find out what kind of money you need to receive this in India.

I don't know, are there any doctors left in India. I think they all came to New Jersey!

How affordable is treatment in India going to be for you if you have to work in their economy and draw the normal wages for an Indian doing your kind of work? Remember, what seems inexpensive to us in this country can take just as big a percentage of a worker in another country's pay. I was once (many times actually) in another country and remarked to my dinner companion that the wonderful lobster feast we had just dined on was ridiculously cheap at $45 for two. She informed me that the $45 was a weeks pay for her, a college instructor!

There is nothing appropriate about the healthcare in India. There is no standard of care. Physician’s education varies greatly from one area to another. AIDS & HIV is epidemic. They have one third of the world’s tuberculosis cases. They have inadequate sanitation and water supply. Polio has not even been eradicated there for goodness sake. Will the amount of money you save really matter if you end up paying with your life?
