I'm sorry you're going through this, but please don't confuse the terrible healthcare system of your country with the fight against cancer in general.
A few years ago my Mum was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer (certain death). She had many rounds of radiation and chemo, and after initially being given 6 months to live, she was put on cutting edge trial drugs and given treatments that where unheard of just a few years ago.
For almost 2 years she did really well, living a very high quality of life while the doctors got very close to nailing the cancer. It was of a type that their drugs couldn't quite attack fully, so it eventually won and we lost my Mum 2.5 years after being diagnosed.
After all that treatment and care and hospital stays and cat scans and x-rays the total amount my family paid was $0 and zero cents.
