Default Cancer treatment in DR?

My dad was diagnosed with lung, lymph, neck, spine and hip cancer almost two months ago in Canada. It is a very agressive cancer and he is unable to get in for treatment for another month. Does anyone have any experience with cancer treatments, chemo, radiation, etc. in the DR. What sort of cost?

I would appreciate any feedback. Canada's system is free, but you have to wait so long, I'm afraid he'll die before he gets any treatment.

Default Hillbilly might be able to help

Please contact Hillbilly, an active poster on this forum and he should be able to respond since time is of the essence.

I don't see Canada's system as free. Don't you all pay dearly for it with high taxes on every paycheck?
